   2      cups          cooked white beans
   6                    eggs -- separated
     1/2  cup           whole milk
     3/4  cup           flour
     1/4  teaspoon      salt
   1      tablespoon    freshly-chopped sage leaves
     1/4  cup           fresh bread crumbs -- lightly toasted
     1/4  cup           freshly-grated pecorino cheese

     1/2  pound         capricola -- sliced paper thin
                        by your butcher

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a food processor, puree 1 cup of the beans till smooth. In a mixing bowl, mix pureed and whole beans with 6 egg yolks and milk till smooth. Mix in flour to form a smooth paste. Add salt and sage leaves. In another bowl, whip egg whites to stiff peaks and fold into bean mixture. Lay a piece of parchment paper, cut to dimensions of a 9- by 12-inch brownie pan. Pour bean mixture into brownie pan and sprinkle evenly with the pecorino. Place in the oven and bake until fluffy and golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven. The mixture should sink in the pan. While still warm, roll it up like a jelly roll, remove parchment paper, and set aside. Core and seed the pears and cut into thin slices. Arrange capricola in a single layer around 4 plates. Cut souffle into 2-inch thick slices and stand upright in the center of a plate. Arrange pear slices around like teepees and serve.
