Instructions

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 375F.
  2. Once heated place the pears cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Top with equal portions of butter, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, and then pour the water and lemon juice on the base of the tray. Roast them on the middle tray for 30 minutes, then turn them over and bathe them in the juices before roasting for a further 30 minutes.
  4. While the pears are roasting, prepare the French toast by adding the eggs, milk, spices and cream (optional) to a large batter bowl. 
  5. Whisk gently to blend, and then dunk the bread into the batter taking care not to break the bread, and allowing enough time to fully soak up the batter.
  6. Once the slice is covered in batter, place it on a hot skillet, and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
  7. Place the French toast on a plate, top with whipped cream and a roasted pear. 
  8. Complete by sprinkling a dash of cinnamon across the plate and serve immediately.
