How to Make Cranberry Pear Clafouti

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butter a 9-inch glass pie plate.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and pale yellow.
  4. Whisk in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup heavy cream (half and half) until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate.
  7. Arrange 2 ripe but firm pears, peeled, cored, and sliced, in the batter. Sprinkle 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries around the pears.
  8. If desired, sprinkle the top with 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the custard is set and lightly browned. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
