- 1Heat the oven to its maximum, at least 250°C, with a heavy baking tray inside.

- 3Beat the crème fraîche with the fromage blanc, nutmeg, a little salt and pepper.
- 4Divide the dough in two and roll each piece out on baking paper as thinly as you possibly can, about 2 mm, into a rough rectangle.
- 5Spread with the cream mixture almost to the edges, then scatter over the onion and lardons.
- 6Slide the dough, on its paper, onto the hot tray and bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are blistered and charred in places and the lardons are crisp.
