Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices Raclette
  • 2 onions sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 slices of bread stale or toasted
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 oz of prosciutto
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Freshly ground nutmeg
  • Fresh thyme

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 400F.
  • Rub the garlic clove over both slices of bread.
  • Place the bread slices on a baking dish. Sprinkle the bread with white wine. Arrange prosciutto on each toast. Layer the caramelized onions evenly on top of each slice.
  • Arrange the slices of Raclette cheese over the onions.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Season with freshly ground black pepper and a sprinkle of freshly ground nutmeg and fresh thyme.
  • Serve hot!

Notes

You can caramelize the onions up to 3 days in advance and store them in the fridge. Assemble and bake the cheese on toast just before serving for the best texture.
