Directions
Preheat the grill.
Melt half the butter in a small frying pan (18cm/7in) with a flameproof handle, over a medium heat. Add the apple and pear slices and cook for about 5 minutes until lightly browned, turning them occasionally. Tip the fruit out onto a plate.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla and maple syrup until well mixed and frothy. Add the lemon zest.
Melt half the remaining butter in the pan, swirl it round then pour in the egg mixture and cook for 2 minutes until beginning to set.
Quickly scatter the slices of fruit over the top including the blueberries. Dot with the remaining butter and the goat’s cheese or ricotta. Put the pan under the grill for about 5 minutes until golden and puffy.
Drizzle with Calvados if you like. Leave to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
