Served as an appetizer or to accompany a roast meat, this individually portioned clafoutis are simply delicious. The saltiness and creaminess of the parmesan go very well with the mildness of the zucchini.

Instructions
Wash and pad dry the zucchini. Leave the skin on and dice them in small cubes. Heat a skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook the zucchini for 5 to 10 minutes, until cooked but still a little crunchy. Season lightly with salt (not too much, as the parmesan will help salt the dish). Set aside away from the heat.
Preheat the oven at 200°C or 400°F.
Wash and pad dry the basil, and finely chop the leaves. Remove the germ of the garlic clove and chop it as well, or crush it with a garlic crusher.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the grated parmesan, cream, basil, sifted flour, garlic, and some pepper. Add the diced zucchini and mix well.
Grease a muffin or brioche tin. Pour the mixture into the mold and bake for 20 minutes while keeping an eye on it.
Once cooked, serve the clafoutis, hot, warm or cold.
You will have a better result if you use a silicone mold.
