How to Make

  • Step 2: Prick the dough base w/the tines of a fork to within 1/2-in of the edges & bake blind for 10 min. Allow to cool for at least 10 min. DO NOT turn off the oven.

  • Step 3: Combine cream cheese (or ricotta if using) w/the creme fraiche, flour, salt & oil to form a thick paste & spread it over the dough.

  • Step 4: Crisp bacon in a large frying pan, remove w/a slotted spoon & set aside, reserving 2 tbsp of bacon fat & discarding any excess. Peel & chop onions & brown them in the reserved bacon fat.

  • Step 5: Scatter bacon & onions over the cheese topping. Season w/pepper to taste. Return to the oven, cook for 2 min & serve immediately.

  • NOTE: May use a pizza pan if you have 1 equivalent in size (192 sq in)
