Berry Yogurt Bake

This is a really quick, easy, and yummy summer dessert - not too sweet or heavy.

4 Eggs, beaten
3 Tbsp honey
1 Cup (8 oz) Greek yogurt (I used non-fat)
1 Tsp vanilla
3 Tsp cornstarch
1 Cup mixed raspberries and blueberries
Confectioners sugar, to dust

Method:
Preheat oven to 325.  Place eggs, honey, yogurt, vanilla and cornstarch in a bowl, then whisk together until smooth.  Place half the berries in the base of a 9" bakin dish and top with the honey and yogurt mixture.  Sprinkle the remaining berries over top, then bake for 20 mins.  Dush with confectioners sugar.
