Wondering how to celebrate epiphany day? Why not doing it the French way with this cake: This traditional galette des Rois cake is a two-layer puff pastry cake filled with creamy almond. The fun part is that it hides a figurine inside and the person who finds it will become king or queen of the day.

Divide the puff pastry roll in half and place one half on a baking paper.
Spread evenly the filling on the puff pastry. Leave approximately 2 centimeters free from the edge.

Whip 1 egg with a fork and brush the edge of the puff pastry with the filling.
Place the other half on top of the cake and cut the puff pastry evenly round around the cake.

This is a traditional recipe of the famous Alsatian flammekueche also known as tarte flambée that my grand-parents used to do every Sunday. They are traditionally baked in a wood-fire oven which makes a crispy bottom with slightly burned edges with a creamy topping. But don´t worry with modern ovens they are also easy and tasty to prepare. Using a wood-fire oven was part of the Sunday evening entertainment at my grand-parents.
With this sauce you can put a French touch to your hamburger, grilled meat or use it as a dip to the French fries. It is a wonderful opportunity to make it if you have some brie or Camembert cheese at home, depending on how much cheese you like the sauce to taste.
This is a basic omelet with potatoes and ham, and it is quick to do. To change the taste a bit you can add whatever you have at home like paprika, sausage, corn, tomatoes and etc.
