    I saw this Pear Oven Pancake in a magzine, and through it was worth a try! 

    It took minutes to prepare, and of course filled the house with a fantastic aroma. It puffed up like a balloon, and then returned to a “pancake” look after it cooled down. 

    Slice and serve. Yum!

    Steve and I both really enjoyed this…both for breakfast, and later as an afternoon snack!

    Pear Oven Pancake

    Simple ingredients, clever baking method = puffy, delicious breakfast!
    Prep Time10 minutes
    Cook Time20 minutes
    Servings - 4 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 2 Tbsp melted butter
    • 1/2 cup flour
    • 1/4 cup sugar plus 2 Tbsp sugar divided
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 12 oz. can evaporated milk
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 ripe pear, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
    • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 450 F.
    • Place melted butter in the base of a pie plate or 9x9 round cake pan and swirl so it coats the bottom.
    • In medium bowl, combine the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt.
    • In another bowl, whisk the evaporated milk and eggs until well blended. Pour into the flour mixture and whisk together. Pour batter into pie plate.
    • Arrange the pear slices in a pinwheel in the batter. (The pear slices will "float" a bit!)
    • Combine 2 Tbsp sugar and the cinnamon and sprinkle over the top.
    • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until puffed up and begins to golden on the top. Serve warm.

      I’ve already made the mac n’ cheese recipe and had marked the pear pancake one too – now I’m really motivated to try it!

      I made the turkey and cranberry encore salad after thanksgiving, it was delicious. I used that same salad dressing on a pomegranate, lettuce, candied pecan salad and it was delicious as well.

      I got the Holiday gift guide in the mail, and I was drooling over that pear oven pancake. If I only would have rememered the pears during one of the two trips I’ve already made to the grocery store this week! They all look yummy though! The party perfect mini quiches look yummy too!

      I am so going to make the Turkey and Cranberry Encore Salad. I love turkey and cranberries together and the cranberry dressing sounds really good! Thanks for letting us know about this guide. Now my husband wants to make everything in it!

      I would like to try the Sunrise Sausage Bake because it would be easy to make the day before and warm up on Christmas morning!

      I would like to try the mini- quiches. I think they might save me time with breakfasts if I can freeze them and pull them out the night before, and they would also help me use up eggs from WIC.

      & I LOVE this recipe, I used apples though…& the sausage bake (made a great dinner)
      I got lots of milk at Kroger during the last mega event, so I’ve been going thru it like mad.

      My favorite recipe in the Holiday Recipe Guide is Ham-It-Up White Bean Soup. I’m going to substitute spinach for the peas, though, as suggested. I can’t wait to try it!

      I want to try the Mini Quiches-they look very tasty-there were so many great recipes so it was hard to narrow it down to just one.

      Winning would be such a blessing!

      You can make the pear oven pancake dairy free by using coconut milk & butter sub. For gluten free, use a trusted flour mix (I use the one in Jules’ cookbook) and I add a little extra baking powder (but I’m also at 7,000′). Entire family loves it. Thanks!

      With the weather turning so cold, I am going to try the Ham-it-Up White Bean Soup, and I am also going to have to try the Thai-Peanut Ginger Wings. They both sound so good.

      I am going to try the oven pancake recipe tonight (breakfast for supper) with some sausage and fried potatoes. I will change the pear to an apple, however, as that is what I already have on hand. It sounds (and looks) delicious!

      We love potatoes around here and anything that feeds a lot (4 children and one on the way) is great, so the loaded potatoes is something I think I will try soon!

      Huge question on this recipe…would you have to eat it all in one sitting/day or can you store it in the fridge/freezer and how would you “reheat” it?

      I will absolutely be trying the Smoked Almond Blue Cheese Dip. I suffer from celiac disease and am a vegetarian, so the wheat-free / meat-free combination is ideal. This looks delicious!
