There are many variations of the original recipe, in terms of the garniture.The standard variations are:Gratinee : with added gruyere cheese;Forestiere : with mushrooms instead of lardons ;Munster : with added munster cheese;Sweet : dessert version with apples, cinammon, and flambeed with Calvados or another sweet liqueur.

Tarte flambee - fresh out of the oven

OriginLegend says that the "creators" of this dish were Alemannic-speaking farmers from Alsace, Baden or the Palatinate who used to bake bread once a week or every other week. In fact, the tarte flambee was originally a homemade dish which did not make its urban debut until the "pizza craze" of the 1960s. A tarte flambee would be used to test the heat of their wood-fired ovens. At the peak of its temperature, the oven would also have the ideal conditions in which to bake a tarte flambee. The embers would be pushed aside to make room for the tarte in the middle of the oven, and the intense heat would be able to bake it in 1 or 2 minutes. The crust that forms the border of the tarte flambee would be nearly burned by the flames.The result resembles a thin pizza.Benoit New York
