📌 Raclette, Potato and Bacon Quiche
Posted 30 March 2026 by: Admin
The smell of raclette cheese beginning to melt in the oven — that milky, slightly smoky aroma filling the entire kitchen — is the signal that dinner is going to be good. This quiche is the direct answer to those evenings when you want something real and generous without spending the whole night at the stove. Classic, simplified, and incredibly effective.

Ingredients :
- Raclette cheese — Get thick-sliced raclette cheese — not the thin vacuum-packed slices for raclette machines, as they burn before melting correctly. A Savoie or Valais raclette from a wheel that you cut yourself is ideal. Six slices for 4 to 6 people is generous without being excessive.
- Smoked turkey bacon lards — They behave exactly like classic pork bacon: they crisp up well, render fat, and provide flavor. Prefer small cubes over thin strips — they distribute better in the filling and hold up better during cooking.
- Potatoes — Waxy texture, mandatory. Charlotte, Amandine, Fingerling — any from this family. Floury potatoes will fall apart during cooking and turn the filling into a shapeless mash. Five small or three medium ones is the right proportion.
- Puff pastry — Store-bought dough works very well here. Choose an all-butter puff pastry. Avoid light versions: they don’t crisp up the same way and tend to get soggy under the filling.
