Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C, fan off. Split the small rolls in half without cutting them all the way through.
- Butter the inside of the rolls, then spread a thin layer of mustard.
- Arrange the roast beef on the bottom half, folding it so it keeps some volume, then lightly salt and pepper it.
- Add the tomato rounds, a few pickles and the onion if using.
- Cover with the cheese slices, spreading them well to the edges.
- Bake 6 to 8 minutes, until the cheese has melted and is lightly golden in spots. Close and serve immediately, hot.
Variations and tips
Vegetarian version. Replace the roast beef with button mushrooms sautéed in butter with a little garlic; the result stays very close to the original.
Using what's available here. If you don't have raclette cheese, a slice of Gruyère or Emmental melts very well in the same spirit.
