Tarte Flambee

Recipe courtesy Andrew Chase, Monkey Bar, New York City

8 ounces basic pizza dough
1/4 cup fromage blanc or quark
1/4 cup crème fraiche
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch white pepper
Pinch nutmeg
2 ounces white onion, thinly sliced and blanched in boiling water
2 ounces smoked bacon, cut into fine slivers

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. If you have a baking stone, preheat it now. Using a minimum amount of flour to keep the dough from sticking roll out the pizza dough, getting it as thin as you can. You can make the dough into either a rectangle or a round. Place the dough on a slightly oiled baking sheet or on a pizza peel if you are using baking stone. Whisk together the fromage blanc, crème fraiche, egg yolk and seasonings and spread this mix thinly over the dough leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the onions and bacon over the tart and slide directly into the oven. Bake for approximately 5 minutes or until the dough is fully cooked and golden. Check the underside of the tart. Slice and serve very hot.
