Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish or baking dish with unsalted butter and set it aside.
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
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.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until smooth.
Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour and whisk until the batter is free of lumps.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until well combined.
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.
Pour the batter gently over the tomatoes, ensuring they are evenly covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the clafouti is golden brown on top and set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional basil leaves, if desired.
Serve warm as a main dish or as a side for soups and salads.
