Hi everyone! Welcome back to Le Gourmet TV. We were out at Nana's and we picked some pears, and today I am going to do a pear flan recipe, or you could also call it a pear custard recipe. So it's pretty simple to make, and we are going to start off by preparing our pears.
And you want two really big pears. I don't have really big ones, so I am using three sort of medium to smallish size pears. And to get these prepped, you start off just with peeling them. So that's the last of the peeling.
Next you just want to cut the pear in half. So now that they are peeled, cored, and quartered, you just want to slice off about an eighth to a quarter of an inch thick.
Now that the pears are prepared, we are going to step over to the stove, and what you want to do is take a fairly large heavy bottom frying pan and about 3 tablespoons of butter.
Now if the butter is melted, we will turn this down to kind of medium heat, and then we are going to put all of the pears into the pan and just sauté them off until kind of soft and a little bit brown. This should take four-and-a-half, five minutes or so, of course depending on your stove and your frying pan and everything else.
So while these are sautéing down, we will make the custard. In this bowl I have got 3 quarters of a cup of milk, and to that I am going to add 3 quarters of a cup of heavy cream, which is 35% here in Canada, two eggs, and about a half a cup of sugar. And you just want to give this a whisk, just to make sure that it's all mixed together, break the egg yolks, and get it well incorporated.
So the pear slices are looking really good. They are just starting to get a little bit of brown and caramelization. You don't want to take them too far, because you don't want them too soft. And I am just going to scoop these out in our flan pan. Flan pan! And I am going to leave some of that butter behind, because I don't think we need it all.
So just arrange these in the bottom of the flan pan. Try to get them as even as possible. And then our custard mixture, pour that in over top. I have preheated the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, and I am just going to slip it right in. So leave it in there about 40 minutes or just until the custard is set.
So here we are 40 minutes later, and we have got a beautiful pear flan.
Now, you can serve this hot, straight out of the oven, or you can let it cool down, put it in the fridge, and let it set up just a little bit more. Anyway, it's going to taste absolutely fantastic. Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you again soon.
