How to Make Caramelized Pear Tart

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a sauté pan over medium heat.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
  3. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the butter and sugar turn a rich golden brown and caramelize (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Add 4-5 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced. Cook slowly over low heat for 10-15 minutes, until tender and caramelized, stirring gently occasionally. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  5. Arrange the caramelized pears in a 9-inch shortcrust pastry pie shell.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup ground almonds, and 1 tablespoon pear brandy (optional).
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the caramelized pears.
  8. Preheat oven to 410°F (210°C).
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set and the crust is golden brown.
  10. Let the tart rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
  11. Serve warm with a dollop of rich custard or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
