METHOD
For the French toast:
Mix the egg, milk, cream and sugar in a bowl. Soak the gingerbread slices in the mixture for 30 seconds.
Heat the non-stick CRISTEL® frying pan on medium heat to melt the butter, then brown the gingerbread on both sides.
For the ganache:
Chop the chocolate. Heat the cream in a small CRISTEL® saucepan and pour it over the chocolate.
Mix it to make the ganache and add the butter.
For the caramel:
Peel and quarter the pears.
Pour the sugar in a stainless steel CRISTEL® frying pan. Heat to 2/3 of the maximum heat of your source of heat.
Stir as the sugar starts to caramelize and add the pears.
Deglaze with the blackcurrant liqueur and lime juice, then simmer for 5 minutes.
Decorate each slice of gingerbread with a quarter of pear and an oval-shaped scoop of ganache.
