Alsatian Tarte Flambe

 

1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, defrosted and kept chilled

1 C. of onions, sliced thin

4 oz. bacon, cubed or chopped

1/2 c. cottage cheese

1 T. flour

1/2 c. creme fraiche (you can substitute sour cream)

salt and pepper

 

Roll out your pastry dough on a floured surface and fit into a 9 x 12 baking sheet.

You can also cut the dough into rounds and make individual tarts if you like. Sauté your bacon until the fat is rendered and add the onions and cook another 3 minutes in the bacon fat. I add a bit of salt to the onions. In a food processor, combine the creme fraiche, cottage cheese and T. of flour and pulse until smooth. Add salt and pepper. With a rubber spatula, smooth the creme fraiche mixture over the puff pastry. Now add your onions and bacon. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 425F.
