Assemble raclette, griddle side up. Turn to high and preheat for 10 minutes.
Pour
1
8 cup (30 ml) of crêpe batter onto the griddle top and spread the batter
out thin and evenly with the raclette spatula, creating an oval/round shape.
Cook the crêpe up to a minute on the first side, until the edges start to
brown; then flip with a nonstick spatula and finish the other side in 30-60
seconds. Continue cooking crêpes until the batter is done. Stack finished
crêpes on top of each other on a plate and wrap loosely with plastic.
Reduce heat to medium-high. In a mixing bowl toss together the vegeta-
bles with the olive oil and salt. Spread vegetables out onto the griddle top.
Cook for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are nicely browned and tender.
Once vegetables are cooked, place crêpe in the raclette dish. Layer with
some cooked mushrooms and onions and top with a slice of cheese.
Fold the crêpe like an envelope or package and then top with a second
slice of cheese. Place under grill and leave for 3-4 minutes, or until the
cheese is melted and bubbly.
Turn out onto plate with the raclette spatula.
Variations: Add 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of chopped chives to the crêpe
batter. Add
1
2 cup (125 ml) cooked wild rice to the batter with
or without chives.
This is definitely a recipe where you can be as creative as you want to be!
