Method

You’ll need: air fryer · chopping board · knife

1. Slice the leek into thin rings and wash it. Quarter the apple, remove the core and cut it into thin wedges.
2. Stir the soured cream with salt and pepper and spread it over the tortillas. Arrange the leek and apple on top and sprinkle with grated Alpine cheese and thyme.
3. Put one Flammkuchen in the basket and cook in the air fryer at 190 °C for 7 to 8 minutes, until the edge is crisp.
4. Cook the second Flammkuchen the same way at 190 °C for 7 to 8 minutes.
5. Drizzle the honey over the Flammkuchen, cut them into pieces and serve straight away.

Good to know

Flammkuchen without the dough: in the air fryer, a tortilla turns as thin and crisp in 8 minutes as the base from the oven. Leek, apple and Alpine cheese make it the autumn version of the classic.

Swaps

Soured cream → crème fraîche or cream cheese. Alpine cheese → Gruyère or goat's cheese (pasteurised in pregnancy). Apple → pear. Wholemeal tortilla → spelt tortilla.

Cooking tips

Cover the tortilla right to the edge, so the airflow doesn't lift it. If your basket is small, trim the tortilla to fit first.
