Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
- 1 cup oat flour (use gluten-free oat flour if necessary)
- 8-10 fresh figs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Dash of salt
- Optional: toppings of choice
Step-by-step Directions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. During this time, place the unsalted butter in a large cast iron skillet and let it sit in the oven to melt and slightly brown.
2. Prepare the Figs
While the oven is heating, slice each fig lengthwise into 3-4 sections, then set these slices aside for later use.
3. Mix the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk the eggs, milk, oat flour, vanilla extract, and a dash of salt until the mixture is smooth.
4. Combine Batter and Butter
When the oven reaches the set temperature and the butter is melted and slightly browned, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Pour the batter directly into the hot skillet over the melted butter.
5. Add the Figs and Bake
Arrange the sliced figs evenly on top of the batter. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 28 minutes, or until the edges start to turn a delicious golden brown.
Servings & Preparation Time
This recipe serves 4-6 individuals and takes approximately 40 minutes to prepare and cook.
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
