The Egg Diaries - A weekly journal documenting my egg use, to help myself and others use all the beautiful eggs, our hens lay for us. Now, a Blog Hop, so you can join in by sharing the ways in which you use your eggs. Link up at the bottom of the page.
Last week at this time, we were in the middle of some unstable weather, which caused out internet to be very unstable. I was unable to post last week's Egg Diaries because of it. Our unstable internet is one of the negatives of living in the country, but is one I can overlook and live with.

| Ricotta Lemon Arugula Quiche - Recipe by Martha Stewart linked below |
Our mulberry trees are laden with fruit. I absolutely love mulberries! I've been making mulberry jam and, of course baking with them to use eggs. I used them in Pavlova last week. If you missed my post it's linked below.
Mulberry Clafouti is a favorite recipe because it's fast and easy. My recipe is at the bottom of the page. Clafouti is traditionally made with cherries, so you can substite cherries or different berries in this recipe.

| Mulberry Clafouti |
Mulberry Clafouti
2 cups mulberries3 eggs
1 egg yolk
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup flour
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease an 8 x 8 square pan
Put your mulberries in the pan and arrange so they are spread evenly.
Combine your flour and salt and set aside.
Beat the eggs and the egg yolk together until light.
Add the sugar and beat.
Beat in the milk and vanilla.
Add the flour mixture and beat until the mixture is well combined, light and airy.
Pour the mixture over the berries.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden and the top springs back when touched.
Cool. ( We like it cold, others like to serve it warm)
Dust with icing sugar if you like to make a pretty presentation. (optional - we find it sweet enough without the added sugar)
Serve with whipped cream if desired.
Enjoy!
