Flammekuchen "Flame Tart"

1. 1

   Heat oven to 400F. Lightly oil a half-sheet pan and pat the pizza dough into the pan to form an even layer....slightly thicker at the edges is fine. Cover with a dish towel or plastic wrap and set aside.

2. 2

   In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, warm the 2 tsp oil, then add the peppers and a pinch of salt. Saute until they just begin to wilt but are still a bit crisp, then remove from the heat.

3. 3

   Spread the sour cream over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch edge, then scatter the ham and peppers on top. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese and a generous grinding of pepper.

4. 4

   Bake the Flammekuchen for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese melted. Just before serving, top with the basil leaves. Cut into rectangles and serve warm. With Gluhwein or an aperitif. Bears optional.
