Alsatian-Inspired Double Bacon and Leek Flatbread
With Pear Side Salad
Alsace, France, borders Switzerland and Germany. With those borders, Alsatian food benefits from fabulous flavours from each country. This flatbread is known as "Tarte Flambee" or "Flammekueche," and layers a creamy spread with onions and smoky bacon. We've swapped the onions for silky leeks. On the side, we've loaded this salad with pickled shallots, sweet and crisp pears and hearty whole grain mustard.

Cooking Steps
- Lightly oil both sides of the dough.
- Stretch into a rough oval shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (NOTE: For 4 portions, use 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.)
- Let dough rest in a warm place for 8-10 min.
- While dough rests, thinly slice leek. Using a strainer, rinse leeks to wash away any hidden dirt.
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream and half the mustard.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- Meanwhile, cut bacon into 1/2-inch pieces.
- When hot, add bacon. Cook for 3-5 min, stirring until almost crispy.** (TIP: Bacon will continue to crisp on the flatbread in step 4.)
- Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve bacon fat in pan.
- Reheat the pan with bacon fat over medium. When hot, add leeks. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender, 3-5 min. Remove from heat.
- With oiled hands, stretch dough again into a large oval shape, about 1/2-inch thick. (NOTE: Dough should now hold its shape.) Spread cream cheese mixture over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle leeks and bacon over sauce.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 14-18 min, until browned and crisp. (NOTE: For 4 servings, bake in the middle and top of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
- In a large bowl, combine remaining mustard, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) vinegar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil.
- Core, then cut pear crosswise into 1/4-inch slices.
- Add pear and spring mix to bowl with dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, toss to combine.
- Finely chop parsley.
- When flatbread is done, in a small microwaveable bowl, melt 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter for 30 sec.
- Brush butter onto dough's border.
- Sprinkle parsley over top, then let sit for 2-3 min. Cut flatbread into slices.
- Divide flatbread and salad between plates.
If you've opted for double bacon, don't crowd the pan. Pan-fry bacon in batches, if needed.
