Flammkuchen (Tarte Flambee)
Alsatian ultra-thin pizza with creme fraiche, thinly sliced onions, and lardons, baked at high heat until charred.
Why It Works
Rolling the dough paper-thin and baking at maximum heat creates a cracker-crisp base. The creme fraiche browns faster than mozzarella, adding a nutty, caramelized flavor.
