Preparation

- In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until it looks a little lighter. Add vanilla and melted butter, then whisk again.
- Stir in almond flour, baking powder, and salt. The batter will be thick.
- Spread batter into the warm skillet. Arrange pear slices on top in any pattern you like and press them in slightly.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon or sliced almonds if desired.
Baking
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until edges are set and lightly golden.
- Cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
