If you aren’t worried about dysphagia or sensitive teeth, I’d consider jazzing this custard up with a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds and a few chopped almonds when it’s done baking. The jewel colored seeds really gives the pear custard a wow factor if you’re trying to make an impression. Or, just keep it simple cause it’s still plenty good! Enjoy!
