Savory Clafoutis With Summer Vegetables And Goat Cheese Recipes

SUMMER VEGETABLE AND GOAT CHEESE GALETTES

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir green onions in the hot oil until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Combine goat cheese, Parmesan cheese, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; stir with a fork until blended.
• Gently flatten each puff pastry sheet with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into four squares. Lightly cut a border about 1/4-inch from the edges of each square using a sharp knife, not going all the way through the dough.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Arrange puff pastry squares on a baking sheet; spread goat cheese mixture on each square. Top each square with onion mixture. Chill in refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Arrange zucchini and tomato slices in a pattern on each puff pastry square, allowing vegetables to overlap. Season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with about 1 teaspoon olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puff pastry is golden brown and puffed, about 20 minutes. Garnish with basil strips.

SAVORY SPRING VEGETABLE AND GOAT CHEESE TART

Steps:

• Roll out pie crust on a lightly floured surface to a 12" round. Transfer to tart pan and press onto bottom and up sides. Bake crust according to package instructions. Let cool in pan on a wire rack.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Cut off top 1 1/2" of asparagus tips; reserve. Slice stalks into 1/4" rounds. Cut white bulbs from spring onions; trim and quarter (halve if using scallions). Slice pale-green parts into 1/4" pieces. Toss asparagus tips and spring onion bulbs in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Place in a single layer on prepared sheet; roast, turning once, until onions begin to brown and asparagus is bright green and tender, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add sliced asparagus and pale-green parts of spring onions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onions are soft and asparagus is bright green and tender, 6-8 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan. Spread evenly over bottom of tart crust.
• Whisk cheese and next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in eggs. Pour over vegetables. Scatter asparagus tips and spring onion bulbs over.
• Bake tart until edges of crust are golden brown and filling is set, 20-22 minutes. Let cool in pan for 20 minutes or up to 4 hours.
• Remove sides of pan. Serve tart warm or at room temperature.

SAVORY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9" pie dish or 8 individual baking ramekins.
• Whisk eggs and salt together until pale and thick.
• Sift flour and almonds together and fold into egg mixture. Stir in sour cream and milk.
• Spread cheese cubes, tomatoes, and olives over bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle basil leaves over the top.
• Pour batter over vegetables and cheese. Bake for 40 minutes (20 for ramekins), or until golden brown. Allow to sit for 15 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SAVORY CLAFOUTIS WITH SUMMER VEGETABLES AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the diced zucchini and eggplant over the baking sheet, then drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat the vegetables with the oil, then roast for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest while you prepare the savory clafoutis.
• Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Oil a 9-inch (23-cm) springform pan, then line with a large square of parchment paper, carefully pushing it to the bottom of the pan and pressing against the sides so they are covered to the top of the pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, milk, cream, and salt together. Add the sifted flour and whisk to incorporate. Stir in the fresh herbs and chives.
• Scatter the roasted zucchini and eggplant over the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Give the savory clafoutis batter another quick whisk, then pour over the roasted vegetables. Dot the clafoutis with the cherry tomatoes, stem side up, then tuck slices of goat cheese in between.
• Bake the savory clafoutis for 30 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature.
