Cheddar-Butternut Squash Clafoutis image

I came up with this savory version of the classic French dessert clafoutis and shared it for dinner with a salad. My friends loved it, but in the end I could have eaten the whole pan myself while dreaming of being in Paris with every scrumptious bite. -Joseph A. Sciascia, San Mateo, California
