Sourdough Tarte Flambée

Cultural Context

Originating from the Alsace region of France, Sourdough Tarte Flambée is a beloved dish that showcases the area's culinary traditions. Traditionally served in the region's winstubs (wine bars), it features a thin crust topped with crème fraîche, onions, and lardons. Today, this dish has gained popularity beyond Alsace, with variations appearing in many bistros and homes, often adapted with different toppings while maintaining its signature crispy base.
