Bacon Tart

4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 kg Bread dough (see rye bread)
• Rendered bacon fat (for greasing the sheet) (a little)
• Smoked bacon (diced) (as needed)
• Sour cream (thick) (as needed)
• Eggs (several)
• Caraway seeds (a little)
• Salt (a little)

Instructions

1. Roll out the bread dough to the thickness of the back of a knife and place it on a large baking sheet greased with rendered bacon fat.
2. Cover densely with small cubes of smoked bacon.
3. Whisk thick sour cream with several whole eggs, pour over the tart, sprinkle with caraway seeds and salt, and bake in the oven.
4. Since the tart requires high heat, it should be baked before the bread.
