Savoy-style Pears
Peel, halve and core the pears and thinly slice. Melt butter in raclette dish and arrange
the pears in a fan shape. Sprinkle with sugar and cook for a few minutes on top of
the grill top until the pears are just soft. Pour some cream over them and slide the
pans under the grill and cook gently until the sauce is slightly caramelized. You can
substitute pears for baking apples and add cinnamon for extra flavor.
Orange Cake
Lightly toast both sides of a slice of sponge cake. Place a slice in the raclette dish and,
if desired, sprinkle with some orange liqueur. Slice an orange thinly, remove the pith,
halve and arrange overlapping slices on the cake. Sprinkle thickly with coarse, raw
sugar and bake under the grill for 5 – 6 minutes. You can substitute oranges for
peaches for a fresh summer flavor.
