Ingredients
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2½ cups (12 oz) stemmed and pitted cherries
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
– ¼ cup heavy cream
– ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (divided)
– ½ cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ⅛ teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare your cherries by washing and pitting them. Grease a 10-inch skillet or baking dish with the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter for easy release and rich flavor. Arrange the 2½ cups of stemmed and pitted cherries evenly in the dish.
2-Next, in a blender or bowl, combine 3 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, ¼ cup of heavy cream, ½ cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ⅛ teaspoon of almond extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth, which helps achieve the custard-like texture.
3-Pour the batter over the cherries in the prepared dish. Bake for 20 minutes, then sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar on top. Continue baking for an additional 25 to 30 minutes until it’s golden and set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
