Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 150 grams Crème fraîche
- 50 grams Sour cream
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg, freshly grated
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
- 100 grams Smoked bacon, cut into small lardons
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the water and olive oil, and knead until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a very thin, oval-shaped crust (about 12 x 16 inches). Transfer the crust onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the crème fraîche, sour cream, nutmeg, and ground black pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Distribute the thinly sliced onion evenly over the creamy base. Then, scatter the smoked bacon lardons on top.
Bake the Tarte Flambée in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy, and the toppings are slightly browned.
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a minute, and slice into portions. Serve warm and enjoy this delectable Alsatian classic!
