I bought a jar of whole Nutmeg just because of your videos. I only intended to buy a small container, which had only 2 nuts in it I think...but...they were out. So, I just bought the big jar that has more like 6 nuts in it. Yeah....I've made your pumpkin pie cheesecake 3 times now, and your mac and cheese recipe twice, and I've barely used half of ONE nutmeg. This jar is going to last me for the rest of my life. It's probably going in my Will.

There's a local (maybe nationwide?) tradition here [in Germany] in every autumn for a short period, when markets open on the streets and offer local wines and especially Flammkuchen - the combination of a cold Federweisser and a succulent Flammkuchen is unbeatable.

I was privileged to dine on the real version of this in Strasbourg, France, way back in 1979 - and I have never forgotten it. It is utterly sublime. Thank you, Chef John, for providing us a reasonable facsimile.

@masha8770 7 жыл бұрын

Should be mentioned that because of the intense heat from wood ovens (Flammkuchen used to be a "test" for the heat of the oven) it was and actually still is quite common to see the crust not only go golden brown but even have bits of the crust slightly charred even, or at the very least go to a dark dark brown. Not only leads to super crispness of the edges (and contrast to the slightly less crip bit with the filling on top) but a very interesting flavour profile. So from what I can see on the video, that crust could have gone a slight bit longer ;) As for the name, since the Alsace has been swapped back and forth between Germany and France over the years there is a lot of shared culture in the region, including both the German and French language and Germanic dialects. Kind of similar how along the Belgium border to Germany there is a healthy German speaking community with close relations across the border.

@BLY99 7 жыл бұрын

The reason it has a french name is because although Alsace used to be German, it is now part of France. Most of the popluation is originally from Switzerland just to make it even more complicated.

In Germany it's called originally "Flammkuchen", which is translated to Tarte Flambée.

@Aurianinouuu 7 жыл бұрын

Tarte flambée isn't really made out of pizza dough, a non-rising dough is used instead, between pizza and azym bread. It makes the bottom truly thin and crispy. And we usually don't pre-cook the onions and the bacon - since everyone at the table is sharing the tarte flambée, we all have an onion breath in the end so no one cares. But thanks for popularising this staple dish of my region !

It might be a Franco-german awesomeness that brought this baby to life, considering that the Alsace changed its territorial belonging to one or the other six times within the past 200 years. Hence the French name in English; German name is Flammkuchen :)

RedNomad maybe you could try a vegan soy cream cheese? If it's only lactose and not dairy in general you can take a goat cream cheese, which is so tasty - especially when you top the flammkuchen with figs and honey! That's also a popular version

as a poor college student, how cruel would I be to use sour cream and cream cheese for my cheese mixture, given sour cream is a little tangier than creme fresh, and cream cheese is a little less tangy than fromage blanc

xWhiteRice will taste good :) its not exactly the same but close. In Germany we use something called Schmand, which is a very thick soured cream - the consistency is close to a very thick set Greek yoghurt

Can you use regular cream cheese as a substitute for fromage blanc or any of the other cheeses you mentioned? The consistency seems fairly similar based on what I see in the video

Tamara Tamtam Morris I have made this for a French person from the Alsace region using ricotta instead of the fromage blanc (mixed with creme fraiche) and she loved it and said it tasted authentic! I have also made it for myself with a low fat cream cheese and it tasted just as good!
