Check out my personal site for the background on this “swavory” dessert (maybe even breakfast?) dish. There is a link there to the site where I got the original recipe in case you want to make a larger version of this.
Strawberry-Peach Flognarde, straight from the oven…
Here’s what you need:
2 Tablespoons whole wheat flour
3 Tablespoons Splenda
1/3 Cup milk (I use soy milk almost exclusively)
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon thyme flakes
a couple grinds of fresh pepper
a tiny pinch of salt
2 large strawberries, sliced
3/4 of a fresh peach, sliced thin
Take a 2-cup capacity baking dish, anything similar to the one in the picture up there, and spray it with butter flavored cooking spray, then layer the strawberry and peach slices in it. It should be bit over half-full.
Put the rest of the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and stir to make the batter. Pour this over the fruit and pop into an oven pre-heated to 350. I did sprinkle a very tiny amount of sugar (yea, real sugar) on top to see if it would maybe caramelize or anything on top, but I didn’t notice anything, so will likely leave it out next time. YMMV.
I use my toaster oven for small stuff like this. Bake it for about 35 minutes, then check it. It should be set, and springy to the touch with no liquid still lingering. If it’s not done, bake for another 5 minutes and check again. It shouldn’t take more than 45 minutes max.
After it comes out of the oven you can run a knife around the edges and turn it out on to a plate, then flip it on to a serving/eating plate. For me, this will be about four different portions, but for someone further along it could be a nice dessert for two, top with some fat-free whip cream maybe? Or how about using some more strawberries to make a strawberry sauce?
You could easily use other fruits in here too… strawberries are in season, and I thought they would go well with peaches. Let me know in comments if you try other fruit combinations… but remember, if you go with cherries, it’s not longer a flognarde, then it’s a clafoutis.
A fruit filled quiche… never would have thought of that… going to have to try it now… Thanks!
