This is a favorite Swiss Cheese recipe of mine, and can be used as an appetizer or served with a salad for a full meal.

Melted Swiss Cheese with Vegetables
yield: Serves 6 as an appetizer

In this simplified version of raclette, one of Switzerland's classic dishes, Swiss cheese replaces raclette cheese, and the cheese is melted in individual portions instead of being scraped from a large wheel as it melts.

Ingredients:
* 12 baby red skinned potatoes
* 3 large carrots, peeled, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
* 4 cups broccoli florets (from 2 large stalks)
* 2 red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch squares)
* 1 15-ounce can whole beets, drained
* 1 4- to 5-ounce jar cocktail onions, drained
* 1 15- to 18-inch long baguette, sliced
* 1 1/2 pounds thinly sliced Swiss cheese

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water 8 minutes. Add carrots and boil 7 minutes. Add broccoli and boil until all vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes longer. Drain vegetables. Arrange potatoes, carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, beets and onions on large platter. Place bread in basket.

Divide sliced cheese among 6 ovenproof plates. Bake until cheese melts and bubbles, about 10 minutes. Serve with vegetables and bread.
