Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your baking tools, including a mixing bowl, whisk, and a 9-inch round baking pan.
  2. Lightly grease the 9-inch round baking pan with unsalted butter or cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
  3. Peel, core, and slice three to four firm and ripe pears into even pieces. Arrange in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. In a blender, combine the melted butter, room-temperature eggs, milk, kosher salt, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
  5. Pour the custard batter over the arranged pear slices in the baking pan, ensuring an even coating.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes. The top should be golden brown and the center should jiggle slightly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, with powdered sugar or vanilla ice cream.

Notes
