How to Make Cream Cheese Onion Bacon Tart France Does Pizza

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (240°C).
  2. Roll out pie dough (see note) as thinly as possible to fit a large (approximately 15x10 inch) oblong baking sheet. Gently press into the pan.
  3. Prick the dough base with the tines of a fork, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Blind bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Let the crust cool for at least 10 minutes.
  5. Do not turn off the oven.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese, 1/4 cup crème fraîche, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix until smooth and spread evenly over the cooled crust.
  7. Cook 4 slices bacon until crispy in a large frying pan. Remove with a slotted spoon, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon fat. Discard excess fat.
  8. Peel and chop 1 medium yellow onion. Sauté in the reserved bacon fat until softened and lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  9. Scatter the cooked bacon and caramelized onions evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  10. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  11. Return to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is lightly browned and set.
  12. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving immediately.
