Flammekueche, Flammkuchen or tarte flambée is a speciality of the historic regions of Alsace, Saarland, Baden and Pfalz at the French/German border region.
I lived near the Black Forest on the German-French border for 20+ years, and we would often cross the border into France to eat at the ‘Cheval Noir‘ … Flammkuchen and Frogs Legs being my favourites..
The Flammkuchen base is the same as pizza, which is made with flour and obviously not Keto. This Keto Flammkuchen base is made with mozzarella and almond flour – it tastes better than any pastry base made in the traditional way.

servings50
minutesIngredients
For the dough:
200 g grated Mozzarella Cheese
60 g grated Cheddar Cheese
1 beaten Egg
70 g Almond Flour
1 tsp Xanthan Gum
Salt and Pepper
TOPPING
2 tbsp Sour Cream
1/2 tsp Knorr Aromat Seasoning (Lidl/Sainsbury’s)
3 rashers Bacon cut into thin strips
1 medium Onion – Half rings, finely sliced
Salt and Pepper
Method
- Mix Mozzarella and Cheddar Cheese together. Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring each time until completely melted.
- Preferably using a food mixer (a hand held mixer with the dough attachment will also do) mix the cheese until it’s slightly cooled, then add the beaten egg. Stir until the egg and cheese are combined.
- Slowly add the dried ingredients and mix until you have a nice dough texture.
- Wrap in cling-film and cool in the fridge for an hour.
- Take the sour cream, add Fondor, season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut the dough in half. Roll into two balls in your hands.
- With a rolling pin, between two pieces of greaseproof paper, roll the pastry until it is very thin (the thinner the better for a crispier crust).
- Spread the sour cream onto the pastry, top with the finely sliced onion and bacon strips.
- Freshly ground pepper on top.
- Bake at 180C for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
- Makes 2-4 Flammkuchen depending on size
