Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
½ cup brown sugar
1 (29 ounce) can pear halves, cut lengthwise into 4 slices
1 (1 pound) loaf sourdough bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 ½ cups eggs
1 ½ cups milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
¼ cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Evenly distribute the butter cubes into the bottom of a 10x14-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter. Arrange the pear slices into the bottom of the dish. Arrange the bread cubes into a single layer over the pears.
  • Mix the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract together in a bowl until fully blended; pour evenly over the bread cubes, assuring all pieces are evenly covered. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and chill overnight in refrigerator.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and allow to warm while the oven preheats.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top of the bread is golden brown and the eggs have solidified, 45 to 60 minutes. Top with the sliced almonds to serve.
