Alsatian Tart with Leeks, Fromage Blanc, and Bacon

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and season with salt.
  3. Cook until softened but not colored, about 8 minutes.
  4. Let cool.
  5. Put the bacon in a skillet over medium heat.
  6. Cook, stirring, until it renders some of its fat and just begins to crisp, about 5 minutes.
  7. Transfer it to a small bowl with a slotted spoon.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 12-inch circle (if the packaged pastry is round) or into a 10 by 12-inch rectangle (if the packaged pastry is rectangular).
  9. Transfer it to a baking sheet and prick with a fork in several places.
  10. Return it to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  11. Preheat the oven to 375F.
  12. Put the fromage blanc, creme fraiche, and nutmeg in a small bowl and stir until smooth.
  13. Add several grinds of pepper.
  14. Spread the fromage blanc mixture evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch bare border.
  15. Scatter the sauteed onions and bacon over the fromage blanc.
  16. Fold the border over to make a rim and crimp it as you would a pie crust.
  17. Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden-brown on the edge and well browned on the bottom, about 40 minutes.
  18. Transfer to a cutting board, sprinkle with the chives, and let cool for about 5 minutes, then cut into pieces of desired size.
  19. Serve warm.
  20. Enjoy with Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Chardonnay or another white wine with a full, creamy body.
