As the weather turns crisp and the leaves start to change color, I find myself craving comforting dishes that warm both the body and the soul. Today, I’m excited to share with you a unique recipe for Spiced Pear and Bacon Casserole that perfectly captures the essence of autumn flavors.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• 2 ripe pears, peeled and sliced
• 6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups bread cubes
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

To prepare this delicious casserole, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large bowl, mix together the sliced pears, crumbled bacon, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Next, place the bread cubes in a greased baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, making sure to fully coat each cube. Then, spoon the pear and bacon mixture over the bread and gently press down to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Sprinkle the brown sugar on top.

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set. The aroma of spiced pears and bacon will fill your kitchen, signaling that it’s ready to be enjoyed.

Once out of the oven, let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. The combination of sweet pears, savory bacon, and warm spices creates a harmonious blend of flavors that is perfect for a cozy autumn meal.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200 grams, with 6 servings weighing around 200 grams each. One serving of this Spiced Pear and Bacon Casserole is estimated to be around 350 calories.

A clever tip for making this dish even more delicious is to sprinkle a handful of chopped pecans over the top before baking. The nuts add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor that pairs wonderfully with the other ingredients.
