Cheese Tarts with Bacon and Fingerling Potatoes Recipe

It’s almost impossible to not immediately fall for this savory tart. What’s not to love? Deliciously creamy, tender potatoes are layered with crisp, smoky bacon, mild Reblochon cheese, and sweet, earthy caramelized onions atop a buttery, flaky crust. Inspired by the cozy French Alpine casserole tartiflette, this five-ingredient stunner is impressive to serve yet comes together easily, thanks to store-bought puff pastry 

What is Reblochon cheese?

Reblochon is a semisoft cow’s milk cheese from the Savoie and Haute Savoie regions of France. It’s extremely creamy, with a nutty, buttery flavor. If you can’t find Reblochon, Taleggio, Camembert, Brie, or Fontina are good alternatives.

Notes from the Food & Wine Test Kitchen

Adding a little water while caramelizing the onion can help release the browned bits of bacon from the bottom of the skillet, infusing their flavor into the onions.

Suggested pairing

Pair this savory tart with a smoky, earthy Syrah, like Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage Rouge.
