Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 whole Cherry tomatoes
- 50 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 50 grams Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
- 50 milliliters Heavy cream
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Butter, for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a non-stick muffin tin with butter to prevent sticking.
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach leaves and sauté until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour. Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs. Slowly add the beaten eggs to the milk and flour mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Season the mixture with ground nutmeg, salt, and ground black pepper. Continue whisking until evenly mixed.
Divide the sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, and shredded Gruyère cheese evenly among the 6 muffin tin wells.
Pour the batter over the vegetables and cheese, filling each well about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the clafoutis are puffed, golden around the edges, and set in the middle.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the clafoutis to cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges if necessary to help release them from the tin.
Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or part of a brunch spread. Enjoy!
