Flammekueche (Alsatian), Flammkuchen (Standard German), or tarte flambée (French), is a speciality of the region of Alsace,[1] German-speaking Moselle, Baden and the Palatinate.[2] It is composed of bread dough rolled out very thinly in the shape of a rectangle or oval, which is covered with fromage blanc or crème fraîche, thinly sliced onions and lardons.


Flammkuchen – fresh out of the oven
The name of the dish varies in local dialects; it is called Flàmmeküeche,[3] or Flàmmaküacha in Alsatian, or Flammkuche in Lorraine Franconian – compare (Standard) German Flammkuchen. All these names translate as "pie baked in the flames". Contrary to what the direct translation would suggest, tarte flambée is not flambéed but is cooked in a wood-fired oven.

This looks amazing 🤩.  I had something similar in Munich but it simpler with basically just cheese on a cracker crust.  We found a local brewery with a restaurant.  The menu was in German only so we had to ask the waiter for help on what to order.  Fun eating experience.  The cheese was smelly as all hell but it tasted great.😉
