Ingredients:
- 4 firm pears of any variety, cored, peeled, and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for garnish
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the custard to perfection.
- Prepare the Pan: Coat a 9-inch round pan with cooking spray to prevent the custard from sticking and ensure easy removal once baked.
- Arrange the Pears: Arrange the thinly sliced pear slices evenly in the prepared pan. The pears should cover the bottom of the pan in a single layer.
- Make the Custard Batter: In a blender, combine the melted butter, eggs, milk, kosher salt, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and pure vanilla extract. Process the mixture until smooth to create a creamy custard batter.
- Pour the Batter: Pour the smooth custard batter over the arranged pear slices in the pan, making sure the batter covers the pears evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is golden brown and set. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the custard from the oven and let it cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving to add a touch of sweetness and elegance.
