Tarte Flambée Recipe

Tarte Flambée Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the water and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

   Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

3. 3

   Prepare the Toppings

   While the dough is resting, peel and thinly slice the cipollini onions. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon lardons until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the fat in the skillet.

4. 4

   Sauté the Onions

   In the same skillet, add the sliced cipollini onions and sauté in the bacon fat until caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Roll Out the Dough

   After the dough has rested, preheat your oven to the highest setting (around 250°C or 482°F). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 3mm thick, then transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. 6

   Assemble the Tarte

   Spread the sautéed onions evenly over the rolled out dough. Crumble the Taleggio cheese over the onions and evenly distribute the crispy bacon lardons on top. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and additional black pepper.

7. 7

   Bake the Tarte Flambée

   Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. 8

   Serve

   Remove from the oven, slice, and serve hot. Enjoy your Tarte Flambée!
