CREAM CHEESE, ONION & BACON TART (FRANCE DOES PIZZA!)



Cream Cheese, Onion & Bacon Tart (France Does Pizza!) image

The French may call this a tart, but I call it a spec pizza done in the French tradition. Per the intro, "In Alsace, this tart was traditionally cooked in the baker's oven, so it's important to have an oven that heats to a high temp for rapid, effective cooking." A Riesling or Gewurztraminer was suggested as a wine choice to accompany this dish. As this is my final offering from *French Bistro and Cafe Cooking* by Pierre-Yves Chupin, I say a fond *Au Revoir* to his spec recipes. *Enjoy* !

TARTE FLAMBéE



Tarte Flambée image

Traditionally, this onion and bacon tart was a baker's treat made from dough scraps leftover from bread baking. The scraps were rolled out, topped with raw onion, bacon and fromage blanc (a soft, yogurtlike cheese) and baked until the dough puffed and the onions singed at the edges. Now you're as likely to find this savory tart at a restaurant or coming straight from someone's kitchen as at a bakery. This version, adapted from the chef Gabriel Kreuther, uses a biscuitlike crust made with baking powder instead of the usual yeasted dough. Since you don't have to let the dough rise, you can have a tarte flambée on the table in under 45 minutes. Serve this as an appetizer, a light main course, or for an unusual brunch offering. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup crème fraîche
1/3 cup fromage blanc
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
7/8 cup/110 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large egg yolk
2 strips/100 grams thick-cut smoked bacon, finely diced (about 2/3 cup)
1/3 cup finely chopped white onion

Steps:

  • If you have a pizza stone, place it on the middle rack of your oven, top with a baking sheet, and heat the oven to 425 degrees. (If you don't have a stone, just place the baking sheet on the oven rack).
  • In a medium bowl, combine crème fraîche, fromage blanc, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Set aside while you make the dough.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk to combine flour, baking powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a small bowl, whisk to combine olive oil, egg yolk and 1/4 cup water. Add to dry ingredients and use a fork to combine until it creates a shaggy dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 1 minute, until the dough is uniform and elastic. (Flour your hands as necessary to keep the dough from sticking.) Roll out to a 12-inch round, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet without a rim (or use an overturned rimmed baking pan).
  • Spread fromage blanc mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edges. Sprinkle bacon and onions over fromage blanc. Slide tart, still on parchment paper, off baking sheet and directly onto baking sheet in oven.
  • Bake until top is beginning to brown, and sides are golden and crispy, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and slide off parchment paper to serving platter. Serve warm.

TARTE FLAMBEE (ALSATIAN BACON & ONION TART)



Tarte Flambee (Alsatian Bacon & Onion Tart) image

While this is a pizza almost everywhere else, in certain places on the German/French border, it goes by the totally dessert-sounding name of tarte flambée. Here we're using bacon, onions, and a creamy cheese mixture as toppings.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Bacon     Appetizers

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
4 (5 ounce) balls prepared pizza dough
1 large yellow onion, sliced
1 cup fromage blanc (French-style fresh cheese)
¼ cup creme fraiche
1 pinch ground nutmeg
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until cooked but not crisp and fat has rendered out, about 8 minutes. Drain in a strainer; reserve the fat.
  • Place skillet back over medium heat. Add sliced onions. Cook briefly just until they lose their raw edge and soften up slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Add a teaspoon or 2 of bacon fat if pan seems too dry. Remove skillet from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Mix fromage blanc, creme fraiche, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a mixing bowl.
  • Place 1 ball of pizza dough on a well-floured surface. Flatten and roll out to a 10- or 12-inch thin circle. Transfer to a cold cast iron pan. Heat over medium-high heat to pre-cook the bottom of the crust. As dough heats and bubbles appear, deflate them with the tines of a fork so crust ends up thin and crisp (not chewy). When bottom is nicely browned and just about to start getting charred, 5 to 7 minutes, remove from heat. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Spread a generous amount of cheese mixture over the crust. Top evenly with some onions and then the bacon. Broil 5 or 6 minutes until edges are browned and starting to lift. Repeat for remaining tartes.
