  • Swiss cheese — Opt for a high-quality Swiss cheese with a good melting capability for the best results.
  • Onions — Take your time to caramelize the onions slowly over medium heat to achieve a rich and sweet flavor.

  • For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle some fresh thyme or rosemary over the Fallue before baking.
  • Experiment with different types of Swiss cheese, such as Gruyère or Emmental, to add unique flavors to the dish.
  • Serve the Fallue warm as an appetizer or pair it with a fresh green salad for a satisfying meal.

Serve the Fallue warm, either as a main course or cut into smaller portions as an appetizer. It pairs well with a side salad or can be enjoyed on its own.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, garnish the Fallue with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives. Cut it into neat squares or wedges for a visually appealing display.
