Title: Flammkuchenrolle

Ingredients:
– 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
– 1 cup crème fraîche
– 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
– 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
– 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
– Fresh chives, chopped, for garnish
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Gently unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a clean, floured surface. Roll it out slightly with a rolling pin to make it a bit thinner.
3. Evenly spread the crème fraîche over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Scatter the thinly sliced red onions over the crème fraîche, followed by the crumbled bacon.
5. Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese evenly on top of the other ingredients.
6. Season the Flammkuchenrolle with a pinch of salt and a crack of black pepper for an added flavor dimension.
7. Starting at one edge, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log, similar to rolling cinnamon rolls. Be gentle to avoid squishing the toppings.
8. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
9. With a sharp knife, make light, diagonal cuts along the top of the roll, being careful not to cut all the way through.
10. Bake the Flammkuchenrolle in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
11. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
12. Garnish the Flammkuchenrolle with fresh chopped chives for a burst of color and flavor.
