Flammekueche
tarte flambée, flammenkucken, flammkuchen
Flammekueche (alsatian), or tarte flambée (french), is a specialty of the region of alsace. 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, thin-sliced onions and lardons. the name of the dishes varies in local dialects; it is called flàmmeküeche, 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-fire oven.
