Tarte flambée / Flammekuech
Tarte flambée / Flammekuech
Why do we say tarte flambée?
It is simply flammée, that is to say cooked over a flame, as the Alsatian name clearly indicates: Flammekueche.
This also explains why tartes flambées are traditionally eaten on a wooden bread shovel used by bakers.
