Baked Pear Pancake

Wash hands with soap and water.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

In a medium bowl whisk the milk, vanilla, eggs and 4 tablespoons of the butter. (Set aside the other 2 tablespoons of butter)

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk until just combined.

Fold in the cottage cheese.

Transfer the mixture to a large liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat until bubbling.

Arrange the pear wedges in the skillet in a single layer.

Cook on a stovetop to soften the pears, about 2 minutes.

Sprinkle with the brown sugar, cover and cook until the sugar starts to melt, about 2 minutes.

Uncover the skillet and pour in the batter, starting at the outside edge and working in a circular pattern towards the center. (This will keep the pears in place.)

Continue to cook on the stovetop until the butter starts to bubble up around the edges, about 2 minutes.

Transfer to the oven and bake, uncovered, until set and golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

Cut into 6 pieces and serve with a dollop of vanilla yogurt and a dash of cinnamon.
