About Flammenkueche

Flammenkueche, also known as tarte flambée, is a traditional dish originating from the Alsace region of France and parts of Germany. Often compared to a thin-crust pizza, it features a rolled-out dough topped with a mix of crème fraîche and fromage blanc, thinly sliced onions, and smoked lardons or bacon. Traditionally baked in a wood-fired oven at high heat, it develops a crisp crust with caramelized edges. While its light, thin base makes it less calorie-dense than thicker pizzas, the creamy topping and bacon contribute significant fats and sodium. Flammenkueche can be adapted for healthier versions by reducing bacon quantity, using low-fat dairy alternatives, or incorporating vegetables for more fiber and nutrients. However, moderation is key, as its traditional creamy base and cured meat make it an indulgent option rather than a nutrient-rich meal. Enjoyed best when shared during communal dining, it reflects the hearty traditions of European mountain cuisine.
