CREAM CHEESE, ONION & BACON TART (FRANCE DOES PIZZA!)
The French may call this a tart, but I call it a spec pizza done in the French tradition. Per the intro, "In Alsace, this tart was traditionally cooked in the baker's oven, so it's important to have an oven that heats to a high temp for rapid, effective cooking." A Riesling or Gewurztraminer was suggested as a wine choice to accompany this dish. As this is my final offering from *French Bistro and Cafe Cooking* by Pierre-Yves Chupin, I say a fond *Au Revoir* to his spec recipes. *Enjoy* !
