The recipe i am sharing with you is one from a very special family friend.

Recipe Summary Tarte Flambee

After traveling to the Strasbourg/Alsace area in France, I fell in love with this pizza. I was able to obtain this recipe from one of the locals and tried it at home - it tastes just like I was in a restaurant back in the city. I hope you love this pizza as much as my family and I do!

Ingredients | Milk Tarte

2 tablespoons butter

2 onions, sliced

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

½ cup creme fraiche

½ cup fromage blanc (French-style fresh cheese)

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 (11 ounce) package thin-crust pizza dough, at room temperature

8 strips cooked bacon

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (Optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and mushrooms; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Combine creme fraiche and fromage blanc in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Spread pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Spoon creme fraiche mixture on top. Cover evenly with onions, mushrooms, and bacon strips, leaving a 1-inch border. Scatter mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is deep golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Full disclosure: the pre-made pizza dough is my take as I never trust myself with bread items. Follow baking instructions on the package for best results. Use a pizza stone if you have one.

If you like more sauce, use a larger helping of the fromage blanc and creme fraiche. You can substitute Greek yogurt for the fromage blanc and sour cream for the creme fraiche if desired.

If you are like me and love a pizza that is very crunchy, I usually transfer my slice to a frying pan for a couple of minutes to really crisp up the bottom.
