Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
Add the almond flour, egg, and salt to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until it forms a dough. You may need to use your hands to fully incorporate the ingredients.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin, round crust, about 10-12 inches in diameter.
Transfer the crust on the bottom parchment paper to a baking sheet and pierce holes through it with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until it's just starting to turn golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a pan over medium heat, cook the bacon lardons until crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, sauté the onions in the bacon fat until they are translucent and soft.
Spread the fromage blanc or sour cream evenly over the pre-baked crust.
Top with cooked onions, crispy bacon, nutmeg, and black pepper.
Bake the assembled Flammenkuchen for another 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the topping is slightly bubbling.
Allow to cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
