The classic margherita is my favorite, but there are some variations I enjoy a lot. This week, we had a white pizza with sauteed mushrooms (hedgehogs, mostly) and thyme. Another crowd pleaser is the flammekuchen, an Alsatian “pizza” with creme fraiche, caramelized onions, and bacon.
My favorite combination is sparsely scattered tomato, mozzarella and anchovies.
Melissa, do you use lardons on your flammenküche? I used to love that dish but had one too many in Alsace. A few French chefs here offered to make it for me, but I have, thus far, not taken them up on it.
I do love a regular ole big meat lovers type pizza when I really crave pizza.
Ham/Canadian bacon and onions is all time fav.
I recently had a chicken sausage, shitake mushroom and fresh basil pie that was excellent.
