Main Dishes

Älper Magrone	Macaroni cheese with extra onions, bacon, potatoes and cream.
Fondues	There are two main types of fondue, cheese and meat. A cheese fondue is melted cheese enriched with red wine into which bread is dipped. Meat fondues include bourgignone (a broth) and chinoise (oil based). Strips of meat are dipped into the hot fondue to cook and are then dipped into your choice of sauces to serve. The bourgignone sauce can be eaten as a soup once all the meat is cooked.
Käseschnitten	A toasted cheese sandwich with a difference! The bread is dipped into red wine before cooking. The picture shown left is Käseschnitte Hawaii which is with ham and pineapple.
Knöpfli	A Swiss version of pasta, which is made from small balls of boiled dough drizzled with butter.
Raclette	Cheese is heated in front of a fire and is then scraped (raclé) onto a plate and served with potatoes.
Rösti	Grated potato fried with onions. This can either be a side dish or a main course. Rösti main courses will have added bacon, ham, cheese or egg, for example Rösti mit schinken und ei has added bacon and egg.
