 First of all arrange the dough for cakes (short pastry, brisè, puff pastry or ready dough) on the baking paper in the cake tin and keep cool until use. 

In a bowl pour sugar, eggs and milk (or cream) mixing everything well with the whisk; the cream must be homogeneous. Depending on the fruit and its taste, flavor with vanilla, cinnamon or even finely chopped citrus peel.

Wash, dry and slice the fruit, then heat the oven (fan, bottom heat) ° 180 - 200 °. Resume the pan with the dough, bucherellarlo with a fork and sprinkle with chopped almonds to absorb moisture from the fruit (the reality is fine breadcrumbs but almonds are more good!). Arrange the fruit at will (put fruit upward or downward, sliced ​​radially, in short, as you prefer the visual effect) and pour the cream so that it fills the space not occupied by the fruit: the cream should just cover the fruit, embracing it and protecting it from direct heat; if you think too much, do not use it all.

Depending on the mixture cook for 30'- 50 '. Remove it from the bottom and let it rest on a wire rack. Depending on the fruit can be enjoyed warm or cold.

You can also cover it, as soon as it is not hot, with a jelly of agar agar and sugar or with powdered sugar.
