Tarte Flambée is a bacon and onion flatbread or pizza with a sour cream base. Called Flammkuchen in Germany, this crispy-chewy, SUPER EASY tarte flambée recipe originated in the once-German region of Alsace in France (in German 'Elsass'). Hence the name Elsässer Flammkuchen.

In Germany, you'll find Flammkuchen at Biergartens and even at Oktoberfest in Munich. Enjoy it as a snack, appetizer, or entrée. It's also common to eat a whole Flammkuchen by yourself. I also prefer not to share, although my recipe serves 2.

  1. Preheat the oven to the highest temperature (usually 500° Fahrenheit or 260° Celsius) and if you have a pizza stone, feel free to use it. Baking it on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper works fine as well.

Make The Dough

  1. Mix together the dough ingredients. If it’s still sticky, add some more flour until you are able to work it with your hands. If it's too dry, add some more water.

    200 flour

    2 Olive Oil

    0.5 salt

    0.5 water

Prepare the Toppings

  1. Mix together the sour cream and heavy whipping cream. I personally LOVE to add in some shredded gruyère for an added rustic flavor, which is totally optional and not as traditional. Season to taste with some salt and pepper.

    200 sour cream

    60 heavy whipping cream

    50 gruyère cheese

    0 salt and pepper

Assemble & Bake

  1. Roll out the dough thinly and spread out the sour cream mixture on it using a spoon.

  2. Evenly distribute the onion rings and cut up bacon (I like lardons, which are thin strips or diced bacon for Flammkuchen).

    200 yellow onion

    100 bacon

  3. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the bacon starts becoming crispy and the crust starts becoming golden. Feel free to garnish with chopped, fresh herbs like chives and parsley, if available. Guten Appetit!
