The onions were perfectly caramelized and had no hard onion flavor, they were very sweet. The ham was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. I baked it per the directions and it came out perfect. Go figure!Īnyway, how did this taste? I really, really liked it! My wife and I had this with a salad last night. A similar product, that has all the same fonts and product styling is the Trader Joe’s Tarte d’Champignon, which is a Product of France and has the Trader Joe’s name on the box. It appears to be a French company located in the Alsace. All it says is that it’s from Maitre Pierre which I found doing a Google Search. The other thing is that there is no indication that this is from Trader Joe’s. Nothing on the box indicates that it’s from France (Unlike a couple of other “flatbreads” that say Product of France on the back).
First, the quality seems too high to be from a US source, but I could be wrong there. This is an odd product from Trader Joe’s. It brings back a lot of memories of the Alsace when I get this tarte at Trader Joe’s. Sometimes mushrooms are added and Munster cheese is another upgrade if you like your cheese stinky! This is usually served as an appetizer at a restaurant, but you can easily get as a main course. Gruyere (or a local cheese that is similar) is an upgrade. Traditional Tarte Flambée is made in a wood-fired oven and the toppings are usually Fromage blanc (similar to cream cheese or cream Fraiche) onions and ham. One of the specialty foods you will find in the local pubs and bistro is Tarte Flambée. Most people in the Alsace speak French and some German. This part of France has switched between German rule and the French for hundreds of years and is a mix of both cultures, but in my opinion, leans towards Germany more. If you are not familiar with Alsace, it sits mainly between the Vosges mountains to the west and the Rhine River to the east on the German border. Tarte Flambée is something that I am very familiar with, having traveled to the Alsace region of France on a couple of occasions.
