CREAM CHEESE, ONION & BACON TART (FRANCE DOES PIZZA!)
The French may call this a tart, but I call it a spec pizza done in the French tradition. Per the intro, "In Alsace, this tart was traditionally cooked in the baker's oven, so it's important to have an oven that heats to a high temp for rapid, effective cooking." A Riesling or Gewurztraminer was suggested as a wine choice to accompany this dish. As this is my final offering from *French Bistro and Cafe Cooking* by Pierre-Yves Chupin, I say a fond *Au Revoir* to his spec recipes. *Enjoy* !

[email protected]I had some trouble getting the crust to turn out right. It was a bit too dry and crumbly. I think I may have overmixed the dough.

[email protected]This tart was a bit too rich for my taste. The cream cheese and bacon were a bit overpowering. I think I would prefer a tart with a lighter filling.
