7 Swiss Cheese Recipes to Make at Home

from cuisine helvetica

Switzerland has more than 450 different types of cheese. Discover some of them with these 7 recipes you can make at home.

Tomme Panée

01 Soft little wheels of cheese that are breaded, wrapped in bacon and fried. They pair well with boiled potatoes and a fresh, green salad.

Croûte au Fromage

An open-faced, toasted cheese sandwich that has many variations. I like topping them with sautéed mushrooms. 02

Cheese Fondue

03 A cheese fondue is one of the closest things to Switzerland's national dish. Dipping bread cubes into a pot of melted cheese is a classic Swiss meal.

Toast Williams

04 Another open-faced cheese sandwich, this includes slices of a gently sweet poached pear and salty strips of bacon.
