John's Flammekueche

My wife and I had this entree in Paris, France. It was so good that we had to order another one. The French people sure know how to cook. It is like a pizza, but 1 million times better!

Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• salt and pepper to taste
• ½ cup chopped onion
• ¾ cup light cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
• 18 ounces refrigerated French bread dough
• 1 medium potato, thinly sliced (Optional)
• 3 slices smoked bacon

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out the bread dough into a rectangle, and spread out on a baking sheet greased with olive oil. Set aside.

Step 2

Place potato slices in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 5 minutes. Add bacon slices to the water, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Drain. Remove bacon, then dice.

Step 3

While the potatoes and bacon cook, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook, stirring until tender. Remove from heat and stir in cream; season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Step 4

Spread the onion mixture over the bread dough. Arrange potato slices evenly, and sprinkle with bacon.

Step 5

Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until crust is golden on the bottom. Let stand for a few minutes before slicing.
