Weekend Breakfast Report: Triple Fruit Clafouti

We tried out Ann's cherry clafouti this weekend, and it was delicious. We are suckers for these big eggy, custardy pancakes - very similar to our recipes for Dutch Baby and Apple Pancake.

We didn't have nearly enough cherries for this though; we've been sneaking handfuls every day. So we used what we had - a few big, juicy cherries, a pint of blueberries, and a cup of tiny tart champagne grapes. The difference in fruit was wonderful - in one bite you get a massive cherry, a couple plump blueberries and a spattering of grapes that burst in your mouth. Highly recommended, and great cold from the fridge as leftovers.

I've alway's wanted to try a clafouti but I'm allergic to milk products. Dose anyone know if this would work using soy products?

Awh Faith! I'm so glad you liked it! But it's not mine, really, it's the amazing food writer Roy Andries de Groot's recipe. I love the idea of 3 fruits and can't wait to try it, especially cold. I love it that way too!

Funny that you posted this. I just made Clotilde's (Chocolate & Zucchini) oatmeal breakfast clafoutis yesterday with some fresh blueberries and some dried cherries & strawberries. :) I'll have to give this one a try soon.

verily, I love Clotilde's oatmeal clafoutis! That freezes so well; in the winter I make big batches and freeze it in slices for breakfast.

I've been making clafouti every weekend since cherry season started here (Swiss/France border area)... I have now switched to other stone fruits -- apricots, nectarines and amazing white peaches from Provence... This is the recipe I tend to use:
