For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of Gruyère cheese before broiling. If you don't have fromage blanc, you can substitute with ricotta cheese or a mixture of cream cheese and sour cream. Feel free to experiment with other toppings, such as mushrooms, garlic, or herbs. Keep a close watch while broiling, as the tartes can burn quickly.

Follow The Directions
01
StepRender the Bacon (8 minutes): In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until cooked but not crisp, allowing the fat to render. Drain the bacon in a strainer, reserving the rendered fat.
02
StepSauté the Onions (3-5 minutes): Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. If the pan seems dry, add a teaspoon or two of the reserved bacon fat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03
StepPrepare the Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the fromage blanc, crème fraîche, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
04
StepPre-cook the Crust (5-7 minutes per tart): On a well-floured surface, roll out one ball of pizza dough into a thin, 10- to 12-inch circle. Transfer to a cold cast iron pan and heat over medium-high heat. As the dough heats and bubbles appear, deflate them with the tines of a fork to ensure a thin, crisp crust. Cook until the bottom is nicely browned and almost charred. Repeat with the remaining dough.
05
StepAssemble and Broil (5-6 minutes per tart): Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture evenly over each crust. Top with the sautéed onions and cooked bacon. Broil for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the edges are browned and starting to lift.
