OMG, this was soooooooo good! Super easy to make, I halved the recipe since it’s just my husband and myself (and 2 hungry food oriented labs!). Baked it in an 8 inch dish, since it was half the recipe. We made everything exactly as in the recipe (except I added about 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the mixture of eggs, etc.). It had so much flavor that it did not need syrup or any sweetener when we ate it. So good in fact, that we ate the whole thing, sharing a bit, of course, with the 2 labs. Will definitely be making this again and gain and already thinking about what other fruits can be used, e.g. adding ripe sliced bananas; using blueberries perhaps with almond extract added to the egg mixture instead of, or in addition to, the vanilla.
