John's Flammekueche
During our visit to Paris, France, my wife and I indulged in this exquisite entrée that left such a lasting impression, we simply had to order another. The culinary prowess of the French never fails to impress. Comparable to a pizza, yet surpassing it by a millionfold in taste and satisfaction!
Ingredients
- 18 ounces refrigerated French bread dough
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
- 1 medium potato, thinly sliced (Optional)
- 3 slices smoked bacon
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ¾ cup light cream
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out the bread dough into a rectangle and spread out on a baking sheet greased with olive oil. Set aside.
- Place potato slices in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes. Add bacon slices to the water and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Drain. Remove bacon, then dice.
- While the potatoes and bacon cook, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook, stirring until tender. Remove from heat and stir in cream, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Spread the onion mixture over the bread dough. Arrange potato slices evenly, and sprinkle with bacon.
- Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until crust is golden on the bottom. Let stand for a few minutes before slicing.
