Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 large ripe pears, cored and sliced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 4 slices bread
  • 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds, for garnish

Method

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Stir 3 tablespoons honey, the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ginger together in a small bowl; spread evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the sliced pears in 2 rows.
  • Beat the eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ginger together in a shallow dish; soak each piece of bread in the egg mixture and arrange atop the pears.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is set and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • To serve, cut into squares and use a thin, flat spatula to lift each portion out of the pan and turn pear side up. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and drizzle with any syrup left in the baking dish.
