Saturday or Sunday morning. Family atmosphere, mind in neutral, lack of rush and traditional scrambled eggs with onion, sausage, ham, green onion and maybe chanterelles on the table. And what if we would like to change something? Not the company or atmosphere obviously, but traditional scrambled eggs on clafoutis instead. It sounds exotic, but this French dish is simply some fruits baked under a cover of pastry. For my breakfast version I have replaced the fruits with cherry tomatoes and black olives.
The only drawback of this dish is that it takes a long time to prepare. The sacrificed time is absolutely worth it though. We will not give up scrambled eggs or our famous "Eggs on the box" but sometimes, for a change, clafoutis will be on our table.
Ingredients for 4 people
60g of cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon of butter
4 eggs
30g of flour
4 tablespoons of milk
200ml of sweet cream
50g of Parmesan or a different kind of ripe cheese
a handful of basil
8 black olives
salt and pepper
Heat the oven up to 190 C. Whisk the eggs, add the milk, cream, flour and mix them in thoroughly. Add some grated cheese (leave two tablespoons aside) and minced basil (leave a couple of leaves for decoration). Spice them up with salt and pepper and mix it in again. Slice the olives. Smooth four small oven dishes with the butter. Add the pastry, and sprinkle with the rest of the Parmesan. Add the tomatoes and sliced olives. Bake for 20 minutes. Decorate with basil leaves before serving.
Enjoy your meal!
