Ingredients:
5 large eggs |
1 cup whole milk |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cardamom,divided |
4 3/4-inch-thick slices egg bread |
4 tablespoons butter, divided |
2 firm but ripe unpeeled red anjou or bartlett pears, halved, cored, cut lengthwise into 1/3-inch-thick slices |
1 cup pomegranate juice |
3/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar |
Directions:
1. Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon cardamom to blend in 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Add bread slices; let stand until egg mixture is absorbed, turning bread slices occasionally with spatula, about 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pears; sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Transfer pears to plate. Add 2 tablespoons butter to skillet; stir to melt. Add pomegranate juice, sugar, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon cardamom; simmer until liquid is slightly thickened and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove sauce from heat.
3. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter on griddle or in another large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bread slices and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Cut French toast slices diagonally in half; divide among plates. Top with pear slices, spoon sauce over, and serve.
