Instructions
-
Prepare the onions: Start by cleaning and slicing the red onions into thin slices, approximately 3-4 mm (1/8 inch) thick. You will need about 250g of sliced onions for this recipe.
-
-
Make the batter: In a large mixing bowl, crack the three eggs and whisk them lightly. Add the fresh cream and whole milk to the bowl, followed by a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Stir the ingredients together to fully incorporate the oil into the mixture.
-
Add dry ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the egg mixture, along with the salt and black pepper to taste. Whisk the batter until smooth and well-blended.
-
Assemble the clafoutis: Lay the onion slices evenly on top of the batter, distributing them across the entire surface. The onions will nestle into the mixture, creating a harmonious blend of flavors when baked.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) on static heat (no fan). Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the surface turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve: Once your savory red onion clafoutis has baked to a beautiful golden hue, remove it from the oven. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Enjoy this savory delight, perfect for lunch, dinner, or as part of a gathering with friends and family. Its creamy texture and savory sweetness from the red onions make it a real crowd-pleaser!
