Number Of Ingredients 7

7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for serving
2 pears, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
12 large eggs
2 cups heavy cream, half-and-half, or milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 loaf challah or other soft, thick bread, cut into 1-inch slices
Pure maple syrup, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • Mash together 5 tablespoons of the butter with the chopped pears and chill.
  • In a large flat dish, whisk together the eggs, cream, and vanilla.
  • In the side of each bread slice, make a deep slice into the center to form a pocket. Stuff a spoonful of pear butter into each piece. Place the stuffed bread into the egg mixture and let soak for a few minutes. Turn each piece and continue soaking until the bread has absorbed enough of the egg mixture to be completely moistened but not falling apart.
  • Heat a large skillet and swirl in 1 tablespoon of the butter. Working in batches, cook the soaked bread until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed. Serve warm with more butter and the maple syrup.

This is one of my favorite French toast recipes. The pears and spices add a lot of flavor and the bread is always crispy and fluffy.
