Ingredients for 3 servings:

  • 250 g flour
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 90 ml water
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup crème fraîche
  • 5 tsp pesto, Genovese or tomato
  • 2 handfuls of arugula, or more if needed
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes
  • 1 ball of mozzarella
  • salt and pepper
  • Parmesan
  • pine nuts

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 12 minutes; Total time approx. 32 minutes

Make a dough from the flour, oil, water, and salt. If it’s too sticky, add more flour. Roll out the dough very thinly on baking paper and place it on a baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan). Wash the arugula and tomatoes, thinly slice the mozzarella, and grate Parmesan cheese if desired. Halve the tomatoes. Mix the crème fraîche with the pesto and spread it on the dough. Top with the mozzarella and tomatoes. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and pine nuts. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper, if desired. Place the tarte flambée in the oven. After 5-7 minutes, add the arugula and finish baking until the edges are golden brown. Tastes delicious with green or red pesto.
