I wanted to share with you today a sunny recipe! The summer can end outside but doesn’t need to end in your kitchen! I really like recipes from south of France because it makes me feel at home! I hope you will have the same feeling when you will eat this tart!
This is a typical recipe from Nice in the south east of France. The pissaladiere can look like a kind of pizza; but in fact it is made of bread pasta and not pizza pasta. Additionally you do not have any tomatoes in the following recipe. The Pissaladière is a tarte made of bread pasta, onion and anchovies.
You can eat a pissaladiere as an appetizer or as a main dish with a salad for example and you will enjoy even more this pissaladiere with a glass of rosé from Provence.

I hope this recipe brought a little bit of sun in your kitchen!
Reading this recipe and looking at the photos makes me want to have a plate of pissaladiere in front of me right now! It looks delicious. What type of flour do you use to make the bread pasta?
Unfortunately I do not have much choice in my little local supermarket so I took the standard white one and it works :)!
I just subscribed to your blog the other day. I found your blog while I was looking for this specific recipe. I was so happy to see you post it today. This was my most favorite thing that I ate while I was visiting paris. Thanks, can’t wait to make it!
Thank you so much Elizabeth. I removed the pissalat from the recipe as I don’t think it is possible to find it abroad but I have added some extra anchovies. I hope you will enjoy it!
