Directions
Mixed Courgette and Cherry Tomato Clafouti With Cheese, I often make sweet clafouti, especially with cherries; but recently, I ate a savoury one in a restaurant – it was delicious! Much lighter than a gratin and a wonderful, colourful recipe idea for a vegetable accompaniment OR a light lunch or starter This is the version I invented using yellow & green courgettes with little cherry tomatoes used grated parmesan cheese and it worked perfectly! I made this in a 30cm/12 long oval earthenware French Tian; any attractive oven to table baking dish would be suitable , I made this for a late Saturday evening meal It was perfect I agree with one of the other reviewers that the creme fraiche/sour cream seems to be the secret ingredient that makes the dish sing I did add a few chopped fresh herbs that I had on hand (thyme and basil) I cooked this in a 12 oval baking dish It did not take the entire 45 minutes to cook, so I suggest that you keep an eye on it after 30 minutes of cooking It fed 2 as a main course I served it with green salad and a Sauvignon Blanc Yum!
