creme fraiche

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt provides a tangy flavor with fewer calories.

gruyere cheese

🥗Healthier: emmental cheese

💰Cheaper: mozzarella

Emmental is a lower-cost option with similar melting properties.

Pre-cook thick hot bacon until just cooked, not crispy, and drain most of the fat.

Slice two large white onions thinly, avoiding paper-thin slices, and add them to the pot with the pre-cooked bacon.

Turn the heat to medium and cook the onions in the bacon grease until they wilt slightly, stirring occasionally.

Prepare the pizza dough by stretching it out into an oblong shape, using whole grain crust.

Mix one egg yolk into the creme fraiche until well combined.

Spoon the creme fraiche mixture onto the stretched dough, spreading it out towards the corners while leaving a crust.

Using a slotted spoon, drain the onion and bacon mixture and sprinkle it generously over the creme fraiche layer on the pizza.

Grate whole nutmeg over the top of the pizza using a microplane for added aroma.

Bake the tart flambe in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes until golden brown.

Let the tart cool for five minutes before slicing and serving.
