A selection of recipes from the same country.
This recipe is from France , Alsace.
This is one of the classic Alsatian Christmas cookies called sand bredele. They are named sand bredele because it feels like soft sand when you prepare the dough. It is common to change the taste by adding vanilla, rum, orange, citron, cinnamon or ginger, and you will find them in many different shapes as well.
These super easy puff pastry are quick to do and are different appetizers. You just need to decide the shape and what topping you will use before starting. One idea is to shape them differently and to choose three to four different toppings.
This is a traditional French Alsacienne tarte flambée (flammekueche). There is 2 other ways of topping as well, if you add some mushrooms it is called forestière, and with some grated cheese it is called gratinée. The bacon or fine pork should be with not much fat if possible, and cut in thin slices.
