A Little Love Letter
Nothing says cozy fall like this delicious pumpkin tarte flambée. It’s packed with crispy bacon, creamy Gorgonzola, sweet pumpkin and the crunch of walnuts. This simple yet sophisticated dish brings the perfect blend of salty, sweet, and nutty flavors that will make you feel like you’re indulging in something extra special. Perfect for a weekend night or when you want something quick and comforting without too much effort. Pair it with a fresh salad, and you’ve got the ultimate cozy meal!
Serve this flatbread hot and fresh, right from the oven! Slice it up into easy-to-grab pieces and drizzle with a bit of pumpkin oil for that extra touch of warmth. It’s ideal as a cozy dinner with a side of lamb’s lettuce tossed in a pumpkin oil dressing, or you can cut it into smaller squares for a party-ready appetizer. Pair it with a glass of white wine or a cold cider, and you’ve got the perfect fall feast. Pro tip: If you’re feeling fancy, swap the olive oil for some pumpkin infused oil.
If you have any leftovers, store the flatbread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, simply pop it in the oven or air fryer until it’s crispy again. Avoid the microwave as it can make the crust soggy.

Scale
DOUGH
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 125 milliliters cold water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 250 grams hokkaido pumpkin
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 300 grams bacon
- 30 grams walnuts
- 2 tsp honey
- 1/4 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 70 milliliters dry white wine
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 big red onion
- 150 grams gorgonzola cheese
- 200 grams creme fraiche
- black pepper
- 200 grams lamb's lettuce
- 2 tbsp fresh chives
- 4 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- For the dough, add water, salt, olive oil, and flour into a bowl. Stir with a spoon until just combined. Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead by hand for about 3 minutes until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Slice the pumpkin into thin pieces and place them in a shallow dish. Rub with oil and thyme, then set aside to marinate.
- Cut the bacon into chunks (or use pre-cut bacon) and place it in a cold pan. Fry over medium heat until golden brown without adding extra fat. Once you’ve got a nice crispy base, add walnuts, rosemary, and cayenne pepper. Deglaze with white wine and let it simmer until the wine has evaporated. Add honey at the end, season with salt and pepper, and stir well. Set aside.
- For the other toppings, cut the red onion into thin half-rings and set them aside. Have the Gorgonzola, crème fraîche, and pepper ready. Preheat the oven to 250°C (482°F) on the grill setting.
- Divide the dough into two equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll them out as thin as possible. Place each dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread an even layer of crème fraîche over the top. Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper. Then, layer the other toppings: first the bacon-walnut mixture, followed by the pumpkin slices and onion rings, and finally small dollops of Gorgonzola. Bake in the oven for about 8-11 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden and crispy.
- While the dough is baking, prepare the salad and dressing. Wash the lamb’s lettuce thoroughly and place it in a large bowl. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top and slice the chives into rings. Set some of the chives aside to garnish the tarte flambée.
- For the dressing, mix oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper well. Add the dressing to the salad right before serving to avoid sogginess.
- Remove the tarte flambée from the oven, slice it up, and serve with the salad.
