French Toast Smothered in Pear Syrup
French Toast Smothered in Pear Syrup
Ingredients:
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 slice lemon zest
4 cups pears, peeled, cored and sliced
3 large eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
12 slices bread, slightly staleInstructions:
Place the water in a sauce pan. Add the sugar and lemon zest. Bring the mixture to a rapid boil over high heat. Turn the heat down to low once boiling and continue to cook 6 minutes. Sauce should turn to a syrup consistency. Add the pears and cook another 8 minutes or until the pears are fork tender. Once tender remove the pears with a slotted spoon from the juice and place them in a bowl. Place the juice back over medium high heat and continue cooking 5 minutes. Some of the juice will evaporate. After 5 minutes remove the pan from the heat and pour the juice over the top of the pears. Cover and set aside. Place the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the milk. Add the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla to the egg milk mixture. Whisk the ingredients together being sure they are combined well. Heat a griddle that’s been sprayed with a non stick cooking spray. The griddle is hot when a drop of water dances on the surface. Lay a slice of bread into the egg mixture being sure to coat well. Place the coated bread on the hot griddle. Cook about 4 minutes or until the bottom is a nice brown, flip and continue cooking 3 minutes or until browned. Continue with each slice of bread. When ready to server pour the pear mixture over the top of the French toast.
