Cherry Berry Breakfast Custard

(45)

This jam-packed berry breakfast treat takes its cues from the French clafoutis—a custard-like dish that rises up around juicy fruit. It's sweet enough to satisfy a morning craving but won't send you crashing mid-morning—plus, it's easy to make on a lazy Sunday morning but also beautiful for impressing guests.

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously coat a 2-quart baking dish with butter and dust with 1 tablespoon sugar.

Chef's Notes

You can mix and match 3 cups of any frozen fruit in this simple dish. Try mango and pineapple for a tropical twist.
