Pear & Cinnamon Bircher Muesli

It's not often that hospital food becomes gourmet, but Bircher Muesli was originally invented by Swiss physician Maximillian Bircher-Benner for his hospital patients over a century ago. Today, the recipe, which is traditionally soaked in milk or fruit juice overnight, is enjoyed for its delicious flavour and soft, but firm, texture. The cinnamon and pear in this recipe make this ideal for winter mornings.
