Does anyone know where I can buy Flammenkuche, or a recipe to make it ?

Question

Flammenkuche is similar to pizza, but lighter and without the tomatoes. The French name is Tarte Flambe. I used to be able to buy it at Costco, but they don't sell it any more. Please help, it's delicious with salad.

Answer 1

The Alsace is a great place to buy it.

If you want to make it for yourself this is a good recipe:-

Don't make it with frozen puff pastry, a lot of recipes recommend this, but it doesn't give you that lovely crispy base.
