Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Pear
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 4 whole Eggs
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for French toast batter)
- 1 tablespoon Sugar (for French toast batter)
- 6 slices Thick-cut bread slices
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
Instructions
Peel and core the pears, then slice them into thin wedges.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 0.5 cup water, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
Add the pear wedges to the saucepan and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are tender and infused with the vanilla syrup. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon sugar until well combined.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly saturated.
Place the coated bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and caramelized. Repeat as needed, adding the remaining butter to the pan as necessary.
To serve, place the caramelized French toast slices onto plates, top with the vanilla pears, and drizzle with warm maple syrup.
Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
