easy and fast

First, preheat the oven to 210°C (top/bottom heat). Remove the stalks from the kale. Then, wash the kale and drain. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the kale for about 2 minutes. Drain the water, rinse the kale with cold water, and squeeze the excess water well with your hand (if the kale is too watery, the tarte flambée will be too wobbly). Place the tarte flambée dough on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and spread each with 2 heaped teaspoons of crème fraîche. Tear the kale apart a little and place it on the dough. Then top with bacon and cheese (don’t overdo it—it’s not a pizza, after all, and the dough should stay as crispy as possible). Bake the tarte flambée in the hot oven for about 15-20 minutes. Check the oven occasionally to make sure it doesn’t overcook. Tip: For vegetarians, you can simply omit the bacon and add salt after baking. Tastes very delicious too.
