Pear Clafoutis

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
• 2 cups cubed peeled pear
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 cups 1% low-fat milk (or soy), divided
  
• 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°.

Coat a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray, and dust plate with 1 teaspoon flour. Arrange the pear cubes in the bottom of prepared dish, and set aside.

Combine 3/4 cup flour, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl. Gradually add 1 cup milk, stirring with a whisk until well-blended. Add 1 cup milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth. Pour batter over pear cubes. Bake mixture at 375° for 45 minutes or until set.

It was delicious, though I think I would have preferred more eggs and less milk for a slightly fluffier texture. I used pears that I had picked the day before from a local pear tree, and they really made the dish special.
