I'm sorry my family really didn't care for this recipe. While everything was sautéing/baking the whole house smelled wonderful. From the title I thought the dish would have more of a pancake "cake like" texture. Instead it had more of an eggy/custard texture to it.

This is a tasty, unique alternative to the traditional egg casserole. The combination of flavors works well...the salty bacon balances the sweet apple and pears nicely.
