2 cups milk
2 cups cream
1 cup sugar (white
or brown)
6 eggs
1 tsp
cardamom
½ tsp
cinnamon
½ tsp salt
1 tsp
vanilla extract
2 pears,
peeled and sliced into 2” slices
1 cup

Whisk together milk, cream, eggs, sugar, spices and vanilla.
Add bread cubes and gently fold in pears and raisins. Pour mixture in a 13” x 9” ceramic dish or individual
ramekins, sprinkle with sugar. Bake covered with foil for 30 minutes at 350°.
Remove foil and continue to bake until browned on top and the custard is set,
about 30 more minutes. Serve warm with your favorite caramel sauce and whipped

Wow, this sounds and looks great. Thanks for sharing ;-)
