Greek Style Savory Clafoutis

Clafoutis, or clafouti, is a French desert  traditionally made with black cherries, now made with various fruits that are arranged in a baking dish, covered with batter and baked. The clafoutis is then dusted with powdered sugar and eaten warm out of the oven. Ours is a clafoutis with a twist. For starters, it is savory, with fire-roasted red peppers and Kalamata olives, transforming it into a dish of classic Greek flavors. It makes a wonderful appetizer or first course with a little salad and certainly a great conversation piece in a brunch.

Here is the recipe:
