Ingredients

  • 1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 cup cooked turkey, shredded
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (Gruyère or cheddar)
  • to taste fresh thyme leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar-sized baking dish with a bit of olive oil or butter.
  2. In a pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and blanch for about 5 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, olive oil (or melted butter), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth and lump-free.
  5. Spread the blanched cauliflower and shredded turkey evenly in the greased baking dish. Pour the batter over the top, making sure the ingredients are well coated.
  6. Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the batter.
  7. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, allow the clafoutis to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving.

💡 Chef's Notes

Cut the clafoutis into wedges and serve warm. Drizzle with olive oil or serve with a green salad.
