French Tarte Flambée / Alsace Flammkuchen w. Bacon & Onion - Crispy French Pizza - Recipe # 104

creme fraiche

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

gruyere cheese

🥗Healthier: emmental cheese

💰Cheaper: mozzarella

Emmental offers similar melting qualities at a lower price.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon is a leaner option while ham can be more economical.

Cut the bacon into bits.

Slice the onions into thin strips.

In a bowl, mix together sour cream, cream cheese, and an egg yolk until homogeneous.

Add salt, black pepper, and a bit of nutmeg to the sauce and mix well.

In a warm pan, heat canola oil and fry the bacon until semi crispy, then remove it from the pan.

Using the same fat, lightly fry the onions until they are just browned, then set aside.

Spread semolina flour on parchment paper and roll out the pizza dough to a thickness of 2-3 millimeters.

Spread the white sauce evenly over the dough, almost to the edges.

Distribute a thin layer of the fried onions over the sauce.

Sprinkle the bacon bits over the onions.

Preheat the oven to 490°F (250°C) and place a pizza stone inside to heat up.

Bake the Tarte Flambée on the pizza stone for 8-12 minutes, keeping an eye on it to avoid burning.
