The topping is spread over the pastry base and baked until it is golden and crispy. The result is an irresistible combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. Pissaladiere is often served as an appetizer or as a light meal that can be eaten hot or cold, making it a perfect dish for picnics and outdoor gatherings.

CONS

While it’s a tasty dish, it’s high in salt due to the anchovy fillets.
People who are sensitive to sodium should use less anchovies or avoid this dish entirely.
