Flammkuchen (Tarte Flambée)

Flammekueche, or tarte flambée, is a traditional Alsatian dish that boasts a thin, crispy crust topped with creme fraiche, onions, and bacon. It's a delightful savory treat that's perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients (serves 4):

  • 1 classic pizza dough (see above)
  • 1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1/2 cup bacon (or pancetta), diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 500°F. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
  2. Roll out the dough very thinly on a floured surface to achieve a crisp crust. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the creme fraiche (or sour cream) and Greek yogurt. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the cream mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Peel and slice the onion thinly. Distribute the onion slices evenly over the cream mixture.
  6. Sprinkle the diced bacon (or pancetta) over the onions.
  7. If using a pizza stone, carefully transfer the flammekueche from the peel onto the stone in the oven. If using a baking sheet, simply place it in the oven.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the dough are golden and crispy, and the bacon is cooked through.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. 
  10. Slice and serve your delicious flammekueche immediately.

Enjoy!
