Ingredients
Pear
4 medium, ripe, peeled, halved and cored
Egg, whole, raw
2 medium, raw
Skimmed Milk
450 ml
Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon(s), level
Artificial sweetener
3 tablespoon(s)
Icing Sugar
4 teaspoon(s), level, or 1 tbsp
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4/180°C/350°F/fan oven 160°C.
2
Use a sharp knife to thinly slice each pear, then fan out the slices in four individual ovenproof dishes. In a jug, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and sweetener. Strain the mixture through a sieve into the dishes.
3
Place the baking dishes onto baking sheets and transfer to the oven. Bake for 25 minutes until set and golden.

Just before serving, sprinkle icing sugar over the desserts. They are best eaten warm, rather than straight from the oven.
