Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 3 firm-ripe Bosc pears, cored, peeled, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices 3 tablespoons sugar 4 large eggs 1 cup whole milk 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 2 1/2 tablespoons pear eau de vie, such as Poire William (optional) 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Pinch of coarse salt 1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated orange zest Finely grated zest of 1 lemon 1 loaf day-old brioche (1 pound), cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices Pure maple syrup, for serving (optional) Confectioners’ sugar, for serving (optional)

Directions

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pear slices and 1 tablespoon sugar; cook, stirring occasionally, until pears are tender and caramelized, about 10 minutes.

Put eggs, milk, orange juice, eau de vie, if desired, lemon juice, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and zests in a wide, deep dish. Beat well with a fork.

Dip brioche slices into egg mixture; transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Divide pears among half the slices. Top with remaining slices.

Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Transfer 2 or 3 pear sandwiches to skillet with a spatula. Cook until deep golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn; cook until deep golden brown and slightly puffy all over, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately with maple syrup or confectioners’ sugar, if desired.
