Clafoutis is basically a frittata or omelette, a big fluffy frittata packed with all sorts of goodies. As with omelette’s, anything goes. Fill with all veggies or seafood, your favourite brie or some jalapeno’s.
Clafoutis makes a great breakfast or a branch served with some salad. It can be tailored to any taste and makes a large portion, big enough to serve 8 people.
