Pear Clafoutis (Flaugnarde)

Adapted from Cooking Light's Comice Pear Clafoutis

Ingredients
Salted butter for the dish
2 firm-ripe Comice pears (1 lb. total), peeled, cored, and sliced lengthwise about 1/3 in. thick
1 c. whole milk

2 large eggs

4 egg whites, or 1/3 c.
1/4 c. sugar

1 1/2 t. vanilla extract
1 t. orange zest or 1/6 t. orange extract
1/8 t. nutmeg, preferably freshly grated
1/4 t. kosher salt
1/4 c. flour
1/4 c. whey protein powder
Powdered sugar, optional for garnish

Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a shallow 3-qt. glass baking dish (9"x9") and arrange pears in an attractive pattern over the bottom. (Fruit will rise to the top as batter is poured in.)

Put milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla, orange zest or extract, nutmeg, salt, and flour (in this order) in a blender and whirl until very smooth and frothy, 1 minute. Pour batter over pears.

Bake until clafoutis is well browned and a little puffed, about 50 minutes.

Let clafoutis cool on a rack about 15 minutes. Serve warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar.
