  • About
The flamiche de Dinant is a relative of the tarte al djote and similar medieval tarts, made with a yeast dough and filled with typical strong local Romedenne cheese, eggs and butter. In Northern France they make a version of this tart adding leek to the mix.

The local legend about the origin of the flamiche tells us the story of a girl from a Romedenne farm who walked to Dinant to sell her wares at the market. But on her way the poor girl fell, leaving everything in her wicker basket unsellable; the eggs broken and mixed with the fresh cheese and the soft butter. To save the produce she ran to the bakery and asked for a piece of bread dough from which she made a pie crust, in it went the cheese, the eggs and the butter and what came out of the oven was: flamiche!
