Method
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly oil a shallow 1.5 ltr baking dish.
  2. Dice one and a half of the pears and place in base of prepared baking dish. Toss Weet-Bix wheat biscuits pieces with pears and spread into an even layer.
  3. Whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon, and half the syrup in a large jug. Slowly pour egg mixture into the baking dish. Smooth surface with a large spoon to submerge ingredients.
  4. Slice remaining pear half and arrange over egg mixture. Toss almonds in remaining maple syrup and sprinkle over top of the sliced pear.
  5. Cover dish with foil and bake 60 mins. Remove foil and bake a further 5 -10 mins, until golden on top and firm in the centre. Cool on a rack at least 15 mins before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

  • For a nut-free bake, replace almonds with sunflower seeds and use a nut-free milk.
  • Pears can be replaced with sliced apples, or summer stone fruit.
  • Top with a dollop of yoghurt to serve, if you wish.
