Recipe Ideas to Elevate or Revisit Your Flammekueche

Flammekueche is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as-is or customized to suit your cravings. Add cheese shavings like Munster or Gruyère before baking for extra indulgence. Pair with a crunchy walnut salad and honey vinaigrette for a balanced, flavourful meal. Serve in slices as an appetizer with a glass of dry Alsatian white wine, such as Riesling or Pinot Blanc. For a Canadian twist, swap the bacon for maple-smoked bacon – sweet, salty, and oh-so-delicious! Hosting brunch? Crack an egg in the center during the last few minutes of baking for a unique finish. Simple, fast, and full of personality – this Alsatian classic suits every occasion.
