Ingredients:

Serving

2 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup confectioners sugar
1/4 cup almond flour or almond meal ( see cooks' note, below)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
2 firm-ripe bartlett pears (1 lb total )
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup raspberries (5 oz)
1/2 cup seedless grapes (3 oz)
3/4 cup sliced almonds (3 oz)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Directions:

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter gratin dishes.
Whisk together eggs, cream, confectioners sugar, almond flour, vanilla, and salt in a bowl until combined well. Quarter pears lengthwise, then peel, core, and cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges. Toss pears with lemon juice in a bowl, then divide among gratin dishes. Divide raspberries and grapes among gratin dishes, then pour custard mixture over fruit. Sprinkle with almonds and dot with butter. Transfer gratin dishes to a shallow baking pan.
Bake until pears are tender, about 30 minutes. Preheat broiler and broil gratins 4 to 5 inches from heat until almonds are golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool on a rack to warm or room temperature before serving.
Cook's note: Almond flour (made from blanched almonds) and almond meal (containing the skins) are about the same grind and can be used interchangeably in this recipe.
