Plum Gratin, 4 points+

August 18, 2011 by DanicasDaily 6 Comments

Hello everyone!  I’m Tracy of Tracy Cooks it Right. and I want to thank Danica for sharing her life and daily eats with us and for giving you this opportunity to meet me.  I am all about easy light cooking that tastes good.
 

It was clear after I lost almost 40 pounds that I needed to permanently change my eating and cooking habits.  I learned some easy ways to lighten up recipes, and I found I had a passion for cooking this way.  I share my recipe ideas on Tracy Cooks it Right.

It’s summer.  We have plums galore.  I’m yearning for something sweet and delicious but not too complicated (hmm. . . the story of my life).  In France, they have desserts called gratins that are simple to make and bring out the best in vegetables or fruits.  Last January I made this gratin with cauliflower.  Today, I am sharing Plum Gratin.  If your fruit surplus is something other than plums – maybe berries or peaches – you can certainly use it in this recipe.

PLUM GRATIN

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon flour
  • 1 1/2 pounds plums, pitted and sliced (no need to peel)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup almond meal/flour (bought mine at Trader Joe’s)
  • 2 teaspoons powdered sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Preheat oven to 400°F.  Spread butter on inside of 1-quart pie pan or gratin dish and sprinkle with flour to coat.  Place plum slices tightly in pan in several layers.

2.  In medium bowl, beat eggs and sugar with mixer on high speed for 4 minutes until light yellow and fluffy.  Whisk in the almond meal/flour then, pour evenly over plums.  Place in oven and bake 25 minutes, or until top is dark golden brown and firm.

3.  Cool gratin completely on wire rack.  Cut into wedges and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

Makes 6 servings, 4 points+ each.

Try making a gratin and see what you think.  You may agree with me it’s the taste of summer on a plate.  It has been my pleasure to be Danica’s guest.  Happy light cooking!
Thanks Tracy!  I have never thought of making a Gratin out of fruit, but, this looks so tasty I NEED to try it! We are officially back from having a FANTASTIC time in the Bahamas but maybe not back to reality :D.  So many great things to share ~ Recaps and more coming up soon!

    Do you add both kinds of flour in step 1? I’m not sure when to add the almond meal/flour…?

    The almond flour is whisked in right after beating the eggs and sugar. So sorry I left that out!

    Apples would work beautifully in this recipe.
