Creamy cheesy raclette with prosciutto, gherkins, scallions, and dijon mustard wrapped around a crispy baguette.
The Inspiration
Last December, we visited the German Christmas Village in Philadelphia. It's filled with small businesses selling goods and food.
Drawn by melty cheese scrapped off of a cheese wheel, we stopped by Raclette Cheese Stube on a whim.
Trevor and I shared the salami sandwich. It was so good that we went back for a second one, the prosciutto.
The sandwich is so simple but something about the combination of flavors and textures make this amazingly delicious.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Two words: melted cheese!
- It's so quick and easy to make! Got 10 minutes?
- The creaminess of the cheese contrasts perfectly with the crispy yet fluffy baguette and slightly crunchy gherkins.
- The scallions and dijon mustard add a hint of sharpness to balance out the richness of the cheese.
- The sweetness of the gherkins balances out the saltiness of the cheese and prosciutto.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and toast in the oven.
- Layer on prosciutto, dijon mustard, gherkins, and scallions.
- In a small skillet on medium low heat, melt slices of raclette mixing occasionally. Pour the raclette onto the sandwich.
Tasty Tips

FAQs
What is raclette?
Raclette is a Swiss cheese dish made from cow's milk. The word raclette comes from the French word racler, meaning "to scrape." The cheese is traditionally melted by an open fire or heat lamp then scraped onto dishes.
How do I store leftovers?
This sandwich is best made and enjoyed fresh! I don't recommend storing leftovers.

By coincidence I was gifted a charcuterie gift box for my birthday that included, among other things, prosciutto and raclette cheese. Since I didn't have any previous experience with the cheese, I searched for recipes and this was one that came up. I'm glad I tried it. It turned out great. I may also try it using the Calabrese salami that came in the gift box.
