Ingredients:

Serving

2 medium pears, peeled and finely chopped
4 tbsp butter, divided
1 carton (8 oz) mascarpone cheese
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp minced fresh gingerroot
1/8 tsp plus 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, divided
8 slices french bread (1 inch thick )
4 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
maple syrup , optional

Directions:

In a small saucepan, cook pears in 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or just until tender. Remove from the heat; cool completely.
In a small bowl, beat cheese. Stir in the sugar, ginger, 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon and pears. Cut a pocket in the side of each slice of bread. Carefully fill each pocket with about 1/4 cup of pear mixture.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla and remaining cinnamon. Carefully dip both sides of bread in egg mixture (being careful to not squeeze out filling).
In a large skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Cook stuffed bread on both sides until golden brown. Serve with syrup if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
