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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Distribute the thinly sliced onion evenly over the creamy base. Then, scatter the smoked bacon lardons on top.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a minute, and slice into portions. Serve warm and enjoy this delectable Alsatian classic!
