grilled poundcake with cinnamon glazed pears

Now, here's the kind of dish where there is no measuring needed. I promise you cannot mess this up and I promise it is delicious. This was the dessert for Mothers' Day Brunch last year. It was a hit!

Five very simple steps:

1. Purchase a poundcake at the store and slice it in 1-1.5" thick slices.
2. Peel and slice ripe, soft pears into long slices. Don't worry about consistency.
3. Brush melted butter on both sides of each slice of cake and throw on a griddle until you see beautiful grill lines.
4. Coat pear slices in a 50/50 mix of cinnamon and sugar, then toss them on the griddle too.
5. Once everything is warm and melty, plate one slice of poundcake  and drizzle pears and cinnamony sauce on top. Serve warm!

Oh yeah, one more step - enjoy!

Be Well,
M
