For the Fromage Blanc:
3/4 cup ricotta chese 3 tbsp. plain yogurt pinch of salt. Instructions
Make the Fromage Blanc by blending the ricotta cheese, the yogurt and the salt for 30 seconds in a blender. Put into a covered bowl and chill for at least 12 hours.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Dust a pizza stone or a heavy baking sheet with the cornmeal.
Whisk together the Fromage Blanc, egg and 1 tablespoon of flour.
Fry bacon in olive oil until done. Remove bacon from pan, cool a little bit, and break into small pieces. Add onion slices to remaining oil and fry until soft.
Lay the puff pastry on pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread Fromage Blanc mixture to within a 3/4 inch from the edge. Top with onion slices, bacon pieces and grated cheese. Brush the edge of the dough with water.
Bake in 425 degree oven until golden brown (15 to 20 minutes). Serve hot.
She says NON clearly and passionately. Her favourite colours are red, white and blue. She is oneday going to climb the Eiffel Tower and declare it a view worth the queue. She will marvel at the Musee d'orsay, the Musee d'orangerie, the cost of a baguette, have her portrait drawn in Montmarte, wonder why she never listened in French class when she needs to find the post office. She will go hungry so that she can buy a little black dress on the Champs Elysse, walk everywhere in lieu of the Metro, send her mother a postcard from Monet's Garden, sit for 3 hours in front of her favourite Van Gogh, talk to the gargoyles on Notre Dame. All of these things I wish for her in every stitch, and more. The piggle will always be as frustrating as asking for directions in Giverny, explaining that the flight was delayed 'a cause du broillard' (because of fog - spelling unknown!!), and as memorable as the dollhouse furniture in a hidden arcade in Paris.
