Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease a 10-inch tart pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, (or the food processor, if you don�t want to work by hand) whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, eggs, and milk until mixture is very smooth. Stir in basil and cheese.
• Arrange cherry tomatoes over the bottom of the tart dish and pour custard mixture over and around them. Garnish with a few whole basil leaves, if desired.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees. Turn oven down to 350 degrees and bake an additional 25-30 minutes, until clafoutis is lightly browned and a tester (sharp knife) inserted into the center comes out clean.
