Yum! I would also cut it into squares and serve the interior squares as an amuse bouche (the outer crust is for me)
👏👏👏👏👊😋 well done 👍
nicely done, 👍 great recipe. 🍽✔️ ingredients work well together❤️
Bella l’idea di rosolare prima cipolla e pancetta: così esce tutto il profumo e la base rimane leggera. La noce moscata dà quel tocco in più che fa subito Alsazia. Complimenti, viene voglia di rifarlo!
