Tarte Flambée, also known as Flammekueche, is a traditional dish from France and Germany. The thin, crispy crust is similar to pizza dough but is topped with a creamy mixture of creme fraiche, soft white cheese, and onions. Bacon is often added for flavor, and the tart is finished with fresh arugula and sliced tomatoes. This dish is perfect for any meal and can be shared with friends and family.

Instructions

1.Preheat your oven to 500 F (260 C) and place a baking stone or steel in the lower third of the oven.

5.In the meantime, chop the onion and mix it with the creme fraiche, soft white cheese, pepper, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
6.Take the dough and stretch it out as thinly as possible, using your hands or a rolling pin.
7.Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8.Spread the onion and cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
9.Top the tart with chopped bacon, arugula, sliced olives, and sliced tomatoes.
10.Bake the Tarte Flambée in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
