This recipe was a disaster! The custard was too runny and the pears were mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought the pears were a bit bland. Maybe I should have used a different variety.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

This recipe is a keeper! It's the perfect combination of sweet and savory. I love the way the pears caramelize in the butter. I've also tried it with apples and it's equally delicious.

This was my first time making French toast and it was so easy! The instructions were clear and concise. I used a thick-sliced bread and it held up well in the custard. The pears and vanilla extract added a nice flavor.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit. The combination of pears and vanilla is simply divine. I like to use ripe pears for extra sweetness and flavor.
