Looking at the dish from above, one sees a beautiful contrast of dark and light: golden baked dough spotted with patches of a bright sunset hue due to the infused plums. The melting cheddar cheese and a dusting of fresh parsley greens makes it truly a sight that will stimulate your appetite.

Additional

This dish is best served warm. You can play around with the choice of cheese to add on that extra layer of complexity. A smoky gouda or a spicy pepper jack could offer a wonderful flavor contrast to the sweet plums. Furthermore, kids can help in pitting the plums and arranging the tortillas in the baking dish. Enjoy this delectable brunch feast!
