Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 125 milliliters Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 200 grams Crème fraîche
• 50 grams Fromage blanc (or Greek yogurt)
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
• 100 grams Lardons (thick-cut bacon, diced)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Add the water and olive oil to the flour mixture, stirring until the ingredients come together into a dough.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Divide the dough into two equal portions. Use a rolling pin to roll out each portion as thinly as possible into a rough rectangle or oval shape.

Step 5

Place the rolled-out dough onto two parchment-lined baking sheets. Preheat the oven to 250°C (480°F).

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the crème fraîche, fromage blanc (or Greek yogurt), nutmeg, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper to create the base sauce.

Step 7

Spread the sauce evenly over each rolled-out dough, leaving a 1 cm border around the edges.

Step 8

Scatter the thinly sliced onion and lardons evenly across the top of each tart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the edges of the dough are golden and crisp and the toppings are cooked through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, slice into portions, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
