Instructions
Instructions
1
<strong>Prepare the Pancake Batter:</strong> In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix until a homogeneous dough forms, being careful not to overmix to avoid developing the gluten. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes, ensuring lighter pancakes.
2
<strong>Pre-prepare the Savory Ingredients:</strong> Slice the bacon, chop the ham and vegetables. Arrange all the savory ingredients in small bowls or individual plates on the table. The professional technique is to have everything on hand and organized before starting, facilitating interaction and flow during the meal.
3
<strong>Slicing the Cheeses:</strong> Cut the raclette cheese (or its substitutes like Gruyère or Emmental) into slices that fit in the small grill spatulas. The short answer is: the ideal size prevents the cheese from melting too much and makes handling easier. Also arrange the shredded mozzarella for more versatile gratin options.
4
<strong>Arrange the Sweet Accompaniments:</strong> Wash and cut the fresh fruits. Place the maple syrup and hazelnut cream in suitable containers with spoons. The secret to this recipe is variety, ensuring there are options for all tastes, sweet and savory in perfect harmony on the table.
5
<strong>Set up the Raclette Grill:</strong> Position the grill in the center of the table, within reach of all guests. Turn it on and let it heat for 10-15 minutes. Lightly grease the top plate with a little vegetable oil. Distribute the ingredient bowls around the table, creating an appetizing visual invitation.
6
<strong>Start Grilling:</strong> Each guest can use the small spatulas to cook. On the top griddle, pour small portions of pancake batter, crack eggs directly, or grill bacon, ham, and vegetables. On the bottom, place a slice of cheese to melt and brown.
7
<strong>Customize and Serve:</strong> Once the cheese is bubbly and golden, use a spatula to transfer it over the pancakes, eggs, or grilled vegetables. Assemble mini-dishes according to each person's preference. Add maple syrup, fruits, or hazelnut cream for the sweet options and finish with salt and pepper.
8
<strong>Keep the Flow:</strong> Encourage guests to try different combinations. Keep the ingredients always replenished as they are consumed. The most common mistake is not having enough ingredients, so plan well and prepare a little extra to ensure continuous fun and abundance at the table.

Chef Tips
- Heat the raclette appliance for at least 15 minutes before starting the brunch to stabilize the heat of the grill.
- Grease the non-stick griddle with a piece of paper towel soaked in vegetable oil only at the beginning of the preparations.
- Keep the pancake batter in a jar with a pouring spout to pour precise circular portions without splashing.
Variations
- Add fine lemon zest and fresh blueberries directly onto the pancake batter on the griddle before flipping.
- Include tender green asparagus cut in half to grill on the upper griddle and cover with melted cheese.
- Sprinkle smoked paprika and black pepper over the cheese on the lower racks before placing under the broiler.
Substitutions
- Traditional Swiss raclette cheese can be replaced with coarsely grated Gruyère, Emmental, or aged Prato cheese.
- Thinly sliced bacon can be replaced by thin slices of Canadian smoked loin or strips of eryngii mushroom.
- The maple syrup can be substituted with pure wild honey or a rustic cane molasses syrup.
How to Store
Store the raw pancake batter in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Store the sliced cheeses and cold cuts separately.
Can You Freeze It?
Freeze only the already baked pancakes stacked with sheets of parchment paper for up to 2 months. Sliced cheeses and cold cuts lose quality.
What to Serve With
Serve accompanied by fresh filtered coffee, pitchers of natural orange and tangerine juice, and slices of sourdough bread.
