Appetizers/Side Dish Ideas
Cheese Toast
Lightly toast slices of French or Italian bread on the grill plate. Ensure the slices
are no thicker than 2 cm or ¾". Place in a raclette dish and if desired, sprinkle
with white wine. Cover with a slice of cheese and slide the raclette dish under
the grill. Cook 5 – 6 minutes. If desired, thin slices of bacon or ham, sliced
mushrooms or onion rings can be cooked on the grill plate at the same time and
served on the toast.
Grilled Potatoes
Slice small pre-boiled potatoes lengthwise, place in a raclette dish. Cover with
a thin layer of cheese (or you can use spice mixes), and slide the raclette dish
under grill plate until cheese has melted.
Quesadillas
Grill green or red peppers, mushrooms and onions on the grill top. Place a slice
of mozzarella cheese in raclette dish and slide under grill plate until cheese has
melted. Place a tortilla on the grill top and fill with grilled vegetables and melted
cheese. Fold tortilla over and flip it so both sides are browned. Cut and serve.
You can also add your favourite meat and try different types of cheeses.
