Cherry-Almond Clafoutis

• VEGETARIAN

Ingredients

1. Unsalted butter, for greasing the dish
2. 1/2 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
3. 2 cups heavy cream
4. 6 large eggs
5. 1 1/2 cups almond flour (6 ounces)
6. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
7. 2 vanilla beans, split and seeds scraped
8. 1 pound sweet cherries, pitted and halved

1. Preheat the oven to 325°. Butter a 10-by-15-inch baking dish and sprinkle it with sugar. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer at low speed, beat the 1/2 cup of sugar with the heavy cream, eggs, almond flour, all-purpose flour and vanilla seeds until the batter is blended.
2. Scatter the cherries in the prepared baking dish; pour the batter on top. Bake for about 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the clafoutis cool slightly before serving.
