Description
The literal translation of the name "Croute au fromage" - "crust with cheese". The role of the crust in this case is performed by soft white bread, fried in butter and soaked in Kirsch. This Swiss dish is extremely popular in the small Alpine towns of the French part of the country. Of all the possible ways of preparing this — the most classic and without "bells and whistles". A native of the Canton of Valais.
