Ingredients
- 12 ounces sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
- 4 (5 ounce) balls prepared pizza dough
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 1 cup fromage blanc (French-style fresh cheese)
- 1/4 cup creme fraiche
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
Instructions
1
Begin by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches your desired level of doneness, but still retains some moisture. This should take around 8 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and transfer it to a strainer, allowing any excess fat to drain off. Reserve this bacon fat for later use.
2
Next, place the skillet back over medium heat and add sliced onions to it. Cook these for a short period of time, just until they lose their raw appearance and begin to soften slightly. If the pan seems too dry at any point, you can add a small amount of the reserved bacon fat to help things along. Once you've finished cooking the onions, remove the skillet from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
3
In a separate mixing bowl, combine fromage blanc, crème fraîche, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix these ingredients together until they're well combined.
4
Now it's time to prepare the pizza dough. Take one ball of dough and place it on a well-floured surface. Use your hands to flatten and roll out the dough into a thin circle, approximately 10 or 12 inches in diameter. Transfer this dough to a cold cast iron pan and heat it over medium-high heat for a few minutes, just until the bottom of the crust starts to brown and bubble. Use a fork to gently deflate any air bubbles that form, helping the crust to become thin and crispy rather than chewy. Continue cooking the crust for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until it's nicely browned and starting to char. Repeat this process with the remaining dough.
5
Once you've finished preparing your crusts, spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture over each one. Top this with some onions and bacon, spreading it evenly across the surface.
6
Finally, place your tart under the broiler and cook for 5 or 6 minutes, or until the edges are browned and starting to lift. Repeat this process with any remaining tartes, and you'll be ready to serve.
