Potato fig tarte flambée is a delicious and quick dish that you can easily prepare yourself. If you don’t want to prepare the tarte flambee dough yourself, you can use the ready-made dough from the refrigerated section for the tarte flambée. This base is perfect for then serving up a great tasting and looking meal in about 30 to 40 minutes. Flammkuchen is a specialty of the historic regions around the German-French border. It is made from yeast dough that is rolled out very thinly in the shape of a rectangle or oval and topped with crème fraîche or sour cream, thinly sliced red onions and ham/bacon. However, you can change the toppings as you wish. The tarte flambée is a bit reminiscent of a pizza, but the base is rolled out much thinner. I chose fresh figs, boiled potatoes and red onions for my vegetarian version of a flammkuchen. Deliciously fresh rosemary and a hint of honey provide that certain extra aroma.
The traditional German pizza, tarte flambee or Alsatian pizza, as the tarte flambée is also often called, should be rolled out and topped directly on the baking sheet or on baking paper, because otherwise transporting this wafer-thin crust and its toppings will be very difficult.
The tarte flambée is perfect as a small party appetizer. Bake the potato and fig tarte flambée and cut into small squares or strips. Arrange it on a serving tray and watch people devour it. Or keep it all to yourself for dinner for two with a nice glass of wine.
Flammkuchen are also very versatile. You are welcome to top the wafer-thin, crispy bases with a topping of your choice. You can use wild garlic, spring onions or leeks instead of onions. Try pear, pumpkin, apple slices, goat cheese and maple syrup. Only let your fantasies be the limit.
