I'm so chuffed I found this again that I am going to post it.
Roast Tomato Clafoutis with Goat's CheeseServes 4
4 large free range eggs
50g flour
salt and freshly ground black pepper
300ml double cream or 150ml double cream and 150ml milk
10 (ish) ripe, firm tomatoes, cored, peeled and halved through their middles if round, lengthways if plum
2 or 3 cloves of garlic, cut into slivers
olive oil
a pinch of sugar (optional)
a knob of butter
150g goat's cheese or feta, cut into postage stamp-size pieces
2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan
crème frache and basil to serve (optional)
Pre-heat the oven to 350F/180C/gas mark 4. Beat the eggs, then add the sieved flour, salt and cream and continue to beat until thick and smooth. Leave to rest while you prepare the tomatoes.
Put the butter in an approximately 20cm x 25cm ceramic or earthenware gratin dish with a good splash of olive oil so it doesn't burn, and melt it in the oven. Gently run the oil/butter mix round the dish so that the tomatoes don't stick and the clafoutis can puff up with ease.
Lay the tomatoes, cut side up, into the dish. Smear the cut surfaces with olive oil, spike with the slivers of garlic and season with salt, pepper and sugar. Bake until the sides feel soft and the tops are beginning to burnish; you want the tomatoes tender but not mushy. Place pieces of goat's cheese or feta in the gaps between the tomatoes. Pour over the batter. Cook near the top of the oven for about 35 minutes until the pudding has billowed and the top is appetizingly browned in patches.
Tempting though it is to eat the Clafoutis immediately, the flavours will be more pronounced if it is left to settle back into itself and cool to lukewarm. Before serving, dust the surface with Parmesan and, if liked, serve with a dollop of crème frache laced with shredded basil.
