Prep Time: 20 mins | Total Time: 45 mins | Serves: 6
Ingredients
For the base
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed according to package instructions)
For the topping mix ("Schmand")
¼ cup crème fraîche
¼ cup sour cream
Other toppings
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ cup lardons or diced pancetta
6 goat cheese rounds
1/2 cup Emmentaler cheese, grated
Instructions
Step 1
Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to preheat.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion slices and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until they become soft and golden brown. Set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, fry the lardons or diced pancetta until crispy. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 4
Lightly roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases, keeping a rectangular shape. Place the puff pastry on a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.
Step 5
Mix the crème fraîche and sour cream together to make your "Schmand." Spread it evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1 inch border around the edges. Top with the caramelized onions, crispy lardons, crumbled goat cheese, and grated Emmentaler.
Step 6
Carefully transfer the puff pastry (on the parchment paper) to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed, and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
