Method

step 1
Preheat the oven to 210°C/190°C fan/gas mark 6. Place a pizza stone or a heavy-based baking tray into the oven to heat up. Lay out a large sheet of baking parchment.
step 2
To make the dough, put the flour (250 g) and ½ tsp sea salt into a bowl. Mix in the olive oil (50 ml) and 125ml water and knead the dough into a ball. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.
step 3
For the topping, combine the crème fraîche (100 g) and yogurt (50 g), season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside.
step 4
Melt the butter (20 g) in a large frying pan. Add the bacon (180 g) and cook for a minute or two, breaking it apart with a spoon. Add the onions (2) and cook for a further 4-5 minutes until just starting to turn golden. Remove from the heat.
step 5
Using a little flour, roll out the dough to a large rectangle, about 2mm thick. Cut into 4 smaller rectangles and spread them out a little.
step 6
Top each rectangle with the creamy mix and spread out, leaving a 1cm border of dough. Top with the bacon and onion mix and sprinkle over the emmental (50 g).
step 7
Slide the tarts, keeping them on the baking parchment, onto the pizza stone or baking tray and bake for about 10- 12 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden. You may find it easier to cook two at a time.
step 8
Remove the tarts from the oven and place onto a chopping board. Sprinkle with the thyme (1 handful) and ground nutmeg (to taste).
step 9
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon (1 tsp), vinegar (1 tbsp), caster sugar (1/2 tsp), shallot (1) and olive oil (4 tbsp) to make the salad dressing. Season to taste.
step 10
Put the spinach (80 g), rocket (80 g) and chives (1 bunch) into a serving bowl and toss with the dressing. Top with the mixed seeds (2 tbsp), almonds (2 tbsp) and tomatoes (10).
step 11
To make the Alsatian wine spritzer, put the gin (160 ml), gewürztraminer (100 ml), lemon juice (60 ml) and golden syrup (60 ml) into a jug and stir until the syrup is totally dissolved. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, pour over the liquid and shake (you may need to do this in two batches).
step 12
Prepare 4 glasses with the thyme (8 sprigs), the lemon slices (1) and some ice, then pour over the spritzer. Serve the tarte flambée along with the salad and the spritzers.
