Fig, Goat Cheese, & Bacon Clafoutis
Clafoutis is a classic French dessert hailing from the southwestern region of the country. Essentially a hybrid between a pie and a pancake, the most traditional version of this dish is made from a sweet flan-like batter with cherries, but the batter itself can be a blank canvas for a ton of different fruits and other ingredients.
Equipment
- Heavy pie pan
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2/3 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 5 sprigs thyme, finely chopped
- 1/2 stick butter, room temperature
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 4 figs, halved
- fresh goat cheese
- diced bacon
- 3 sprigs thyme
- 1 tsp honey optional
- 1 tsp water optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix the almond flour, flour, eggs, salt, thyme, butter, and heavy cream in a heavy pie pan until a smooth batter starts to form.
- Press the halved figs carefully into the batter with the cut surface facing upward.
- Cover everything with fresh goat cheese and diced bacon and place the thyme sprigs on top of the clafoutis.
- Bake it in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until golden brown. If you like, brush the clafoutis with honey water for some extra shine.
