Ingredients
- 300 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters Milk
- 50 milliliters Heavy cream
- 3 large Eggs
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 10 grams Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish or baking dish with unsalted butter and set it aside.
Step 3
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 4
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they soften slightly and their skins begin to blister. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until smooth.
Step 6
Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour and whisk until the batter is free of lumps.
Step 7
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 8
Place the sautéed cherry tomatoes evenly into the prepared baking dish. Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and scatter them over the tomatoes.
Step 9
Pour the batter gently over the tomatoes, ensuring they are evenly covered.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the clafouti is golden brown on top and set in the center.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional basil leaves, if desired.
Step 12
Serve warm as a main dish or as a side for soups and salads.
