Tarte Flambée, also known as Flammkuchen, originated in the Alsace region of France and the bordering region of Germany. Historically, it was a farmer's dish, used to test the heat of wood-fired ovens before baking bread. The thin dough would quickly indicate if the oven was at the correct temperature.

Dough Thickness
Roll the dough as thinly as possible to achieve the characteristic crispy texture. A thin crust is essential for an authentic Tarte Flambée.
Crème Fraîche Consistency
Use a high-quality crème fraîche and spread it thinly over the dough to prevent it from becoming soggy. You can also use a mixture of crème fraîche and fromage blanc.
Oven Temperature
Bake the Tarte Flambée in a very hot oven (450-500°F or 230-260°C) to ensure a crispy crust and well-cooked toppings. It only takes a few minutes to bake.
Lardon Preparation
Use high quality lardons, or thick-cut bacon, diced. Render some of the fat off the bacon before adding it to the tarte flambée.
