I Could Eat This For Breakfast! - Cherry Clafouti with a Lemon Almond Crumb




Cherry Ricotta Clafouti



Actually - I did! Laced with an abundance of cherries this went down very well just before slipping out the door to work.   Topped off with a blob of natural yoghurt and the crumb of course, means I am still thinking about it and wishing I had some for breakfast everyday....

  2. Can I come over to your place for breakfast? I'd bring some of my home cured, home smoked lamb bacon to share :)
