PFAFFENGLUECK ("PARSON'S LUCK") GERMAN COLD PIZZA

Steps:

• Mix together creme fraiche and slivered onions well and season to taste with salt (about 2 shakes), pepper (about 8 shakes), and apple cider vinegar- using an ordinary eating teaspoon to measure the vinegar.
• Add a small pinch of sugar to taste- just a small amount- you don't want this to be a sweet dish.
• Chill 10 minutes while you prepare the bread and get out your toppings.
• Try to have your Kraeuterfladbrot slightly warm (freshly baked and slightly cooled is best)- and split them horizontally (like an English Muffin would be cut)- into 2 flat rounds each (NOTE: If using pita rounds, then don't split them - use a whole pita per serving).
• Spread each of the 4 rounds with an equal portion of the creamy onion mixture- you might not need it all (cover like a pizza sauce).
• Sprinkle each pizza with shredded cheese evenly, to taste.
• Sprinkle mushrooms, corn or diced ham over the top, to taste (these would not be mixed, but you know- it's your kitchen- if you want to combine several toppings, go for it).
• Sprinkle with bacon rather heavily, to taste- about a Tbsp on top of each.
• Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, trying to get a small mound of it in the center.
• Serve immediately- these are not heated.
