How To Make Flammkuchen

creme fraiche

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt provides a lighter option while maintaining creaminess.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked ham

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while smoked ham is often more affordable.

Finely chop 6 slices of bacon using a chef's knife.

In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup of mascarpone cheese with 1/2 cup of creme fraiche.

Add a dash of nutmeg, salt, and cracked black pepper to the cheese mixture and mix well.

In another bowl, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a few cracks of black pepper for the dough.

Incorporate 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 eggs, and 2 tablespoons of water into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture, stirring until the dough comes together. If it's too dry, add another tablespoon of water as needed.

Divide the dough into thirds and roll each piece out to about a 12-inch circle.

Spray a baking tray with nonstick spray and place the rolled dough on it.

Spread the cheese mixture over the dough, then add the chopped onions and bacon on top.

Cut the flammkuchen into squares with a chef's knife and serve.
