Coming upon this creation in a potluck line, I left with a full plate and the recipe. Now my family oohs and aahs as soon as I bring out this fruit-topped favorite. It's great for brunch or as a fanciful finish to a meal. -Carol Schumacher, Menoken, North Dakota Ingredients:
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar, divided |
6 tablespoons butter, divided |
1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided |
3 medium ripe pears, peeled and sliced (about 2-1/2 cups) |
3 eggs, lightly beaten |
3/4 cup milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
6 slices french bread (1 inch thick) |
