This vanilla clafoutis is my go to dessert whenever I want something elegant but totally manageable. It's a French classic that sounds fancy but comes together in just 20 minutes of prep, making it perfect for weeknight entertaining. The custard like batter bakes up golden and puffy around fresh strawberries, creating that magical contrast between tender fruit and silky cream. I love using eggs here since they're packed with choline, which supports brain health. Best of all, you probably have most of these pantry staples on hand already, so it won't break the bank. In 35 minutes you'll have an impressive dessert that tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen.
