Ingredients

2 cups
vanilla bean, split, and seeds scraped
1
large eggs, room temperature
4
sugar, divided
½ cup
salt
½ tsp.
flour
½ cup
butter
2 Tbsp
Bartlett pears, cored and sliced
1 lb. (about 3)

 

Directions

  1. PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Lightly GREASE six 6 oz ramekins and PLACE in a baking pan large enough to hold cups without touching each other. In a medium saucepan, HEAT the milk and vanilla seeds until warm. In a large bowl, WHISK eggs until foamy. ADD milk, ¼ cup sugar, salt, and flour. FILL ramekins with ½ cup of the mixture and POUR boiling water around them halfway up the sides. BAKE for 25-30 minutes or until puffed and set.
  2. Meanwhile, MELT butter in a large skillet and ADD butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, and pears and SAUTÉ over medium heat until slightly softened.
  3. REMOVE custards from the oven and carefully REMOVE them from the water bath using a spatula. PLACE cooked custards on a baking sheet and PREHEAT the broiler placing the rack 6” from the broiler. TOP custards with the pears and 1 teaspoon sugar each and PLACE under the broiler until the sugar melts and is lightly browned (3-5 minutes).
