Easy Recipes for an Après-Ski Evening

After a day of hitting the slopes (or the shops – we’re not judging!) it can be hard to find the energy to make a whole après-ski spread. Luckily many of the recipes in the Alpine tradition are easily substituted with items you probably already have at home! Here are a few of our favorite easy alternatives, s rab a blanket, gather your pals, and let the après-ski feast begin!

Instead of fondue, try baked brie…
Fondue, who? Baked brie is just as delicious with half the effort. Simply pop in the oven for melty magic, then serve with thyme and jam.

Instead of hot chocolate, try a chocolate martini…
Ditch the cocoa for a chocolate martini: vodka, chocolate liqueur, cream – shake, sip, and party! If you’re still feeling fancy, line the rim with crushed peppermint.

Instead of Swiss Rösti, try baked potato chips…
Transitional Rösti is great, but who has the time? Indulge in potatoey goodness with this throwback snack, just slice up a potato or two, season, bake, and crunch!

Instead of sausage and pretzels, try salty charcuterie…
In lieu of baked pretzels, try this for a snack attack! Assemble meats, cheeses, and pickles and serve with crunchy pretzels for some salty goodness.
