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 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 6 slices French bread (1 inch thick)
  • Ice cream

Directions

  1. In a skillet, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon; cook and stir until sugar dissolved. Add pears; cook until tender.
