raclette

Raclette is a dish consumed in Switzerland and France, consisting of cheese melted and scraped off the round onto potatoes, sliced meats, pickles, and other vegetables. Raclette is made with various cheeses (primarily from the canton of Valais) in Switzerland, but a specific raclette cheese has been developed for marketing abroad. The cheese round is heated, either in front of a fire or by a special machine, then scraped onto diners' plates (the term raclette derives from the French racler, "to scrape.") Raclette was mentioned in medieval writings as a particularly nutritious meal consumed by peasants in mountainous Switzerland. It was then known in the German-speaking part of Switzerland as Bratchs, or "roasted cheese."
