Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Apricot Flaugnarde
  1. Begin by generously buttering a 10-inch round quiche dish or pie plate.
  2. Set your oven to preheat at 375°F (190°C).
  3. Carefully place the halved apricots cut side up in a circular pattern within the buttered baking dish.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, rye whiskey, and large eggs until well combined. Gradually sprinkle in the salt and flour, whisking to eliminate lumps.
  5. Gently pour the prepared batter around the arranged apricot halves in the baking dish.
  6. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Once baked, remove the Apricot Flaugnarde from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before dusting with powdered sugar.
