Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp finely grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter , cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup (or more) whipping cream
1 lb firm but ripe bartlett pears, peeled, cored, thinly sliced
1 lb firm but ripe bosc pears, peeled, cored, thinly sliced
5 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp plus 2 tsp all purpose flour
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp finely grated lemon peel
1/4 tsp ( generous ) ground nutmeg
whipping cream (for brushing )
2 tbsp sliced almonds
vanilla ice cream (optional)

Directions:

For pastry: Whisk flour, sugar, lemon peel, and salt in medium bowl. Add butter; using fingertips, rub in butter until coarse meal forms. Drizzle 1/4 cup cream over; toss with fork until moist clumps form, adding more cream by teaspoonfuls as needed if dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before rolling out.
For filling: Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix all pears, sugar, flour, lemon juice, lemon peel, and nutmeg in large bowl to coat. Roll out pastry on sheet of floured parchment paper to 14-inch round. Transfer crust on parchment paper to baking sheet. Mound pears in center of pastry, leaving 2-inch plain border. Fold pastry border over pears, crimping slightly. Brush pastry edges with cream; sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Bake croustade until filling bubbles and almonds are lightly toasted, about 1 hour. Cool slightly. Serve croustade warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
