One recipe that sounds elaborate but is very easy to prepare is cherry clafoutis (kla-foo-tee), a rustic dish created in the agricultural region of Limousin in south-central France.

This savory breakfast bake recipe is both a quick or fix-ahead that is filling and savory and full of that hearty breakfast taste.
