Cuisinart Raclette CR-8C - Manual (Page 7)

Egg and cheese sandwich
Have the raclette preheated on medium-high, griddle side up.
Cook eggs directly on the griddle, or place the raclette dish directly on the
cooktop and crack the egg into the dish. Cook on top of the griddle for
4 minutes and then finish underneath the grill.
Butter and toast English muffin or slices of bread, and warm and brown
on griddle.
Place egg in raclette dish (if not already there) and place slice of cheese on
top and place dish under the grill.
Once cheese has melted, slide egg and cheese with individual spatula on to
bread, make your sandwich and go!
Individual omelettes
Have the raclette preheated on medium-high, griddle side up.
Scramble eggs with a touch of milk or cream. Place the raclette dish on the
griddle. Pour eggs into the dish to come up halfway. Place dish on the cook
top. Allow the bottom to set, about 3–4 minutes. Place dish under the grill and
leave for an additional 2 minutes until the edges start to set and puff, add
sliced or grated cheese and leave until melted and fully puffed – about
another 2 minutes. Slide out with spatula onto toasted bread or plate.
You can cook vegetables on the griddle first to add to your omelette, or use
up any leftover grilled veggies and/or meats.
The griddle is also perfect for making open-face melted cheese sandwiches,
potato pancakes, blinis, or mini crab cakes.
The Cuisinart ™ Raclette is great for relaxed, easy, tabletop cooking with
friends – a perfect companion to the Cuisinart ™ Electric Fondue Pot.
