Tarte Flambée — also known as flammekueche — is the Alsatian flatbread of paper-thin dough spread with crème fraîche, scattered with soft onions and smoky bacon, and baked blisteringly hot until the edges char. It is the French answer to pizza, and it is glorious.
Baked in wood-fired ovens along the Rhine, it is traditionally served as a snack or light meal with a cold beer or a dry white wine. Eat it hot, straight from the oven, torn into pieces and shared.
