Alsatian Tarte Flambee Recipe

Ingredients for Alsatian Tarte Flambee

• Frozen Puff Pastry
• 1 cup quark cheese (or substitute with 1 cup sour cream mixed with 1/4 cup cream cheese)
• Heavy Cream
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced

How to Make Alsatian Tarte Flambee

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust to 1/8-inch thickness.
3. Use a 3 1/4- to 4-inch cookie cutter or knife to cut out individual circles. Place them on the prepared baking sheets.
4. Freeze the unbaked crusts for at least 15 minutes to prevent them from shrinking during baking.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the quark (or sour cream mixture), heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until smooth.
6. Remove the frozen crusts from the freezer.
7. Prick the bottom of each crust several times with a fork to prevent air bubbles.
8. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over each crust, leaving a small border.
9. Top each tart with evenly distributed sliced onions and crumbled bacon.
10. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the cheese is lightly browned.
11. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
