Can I use frozen nectarines in this clafoutis recipe?

While fresh nectarines are ideal, frozen nectarines can also be used in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess water before adding them to the dish. This helps maintain the perfect custard texture and prevents the clafoutis from becoming soggy.

How do I know when my Nectarine Clafoutis is done?

The clafoutis is ready when the edges are golden-brown, and the center is just set (it should no longer jiggle when lightly shaken). You can also insert a knife into the center—if it comes out clean, your clafoutis is perfectly baked.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the clafoutis the night before and refrigerate it overnight. The custard may set a bit more overnight, but it will still be delicious when baked the next day. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes before serving.

Can I substitute the flour in the clafoutis?

Yes, if you're looking for a gluten-free option, you can use a gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour. Make sure to choose a good-quality 1:1 gluten-free blend for the best texture and flavor.
