flaming tart

It's been some time since our holiday to Alsace - almost four months to be exact. But no matter how many days, weeks or months have passed, I'll never forget the amount of wine and food consumed on that trip.

Tarte flambée is a typical Alsatian dish of dough rolled out very thinly (think pizza but thinner) into a rectangular or circular shape covered with crème fraîche or fromage blanc, onions and lardons. There are variations to this of course - with Munster cheese, Gruyere cheese, mushrooms instead of lardons and of course the sweet variety with apples. Needless to say, we felt it was our responsibility to try almost every variety on offer.

For all you pizza lovers out there, you need to try this. It's about ten times better than the best pizza out there (and I don't even like pizzas).
