Ingredients
- 1/2 stick butter, melted, plus more for baking dish
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for baking dish
- 1 pound fresh cherries, pitted and cut in 1/2 or 1 box frozen cherries
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Pinch salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 lemon, zested
- Powdered sugar
- Ice cream or whipped cream, for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Generously butter and flour a 7 by 5-inch baking dish or 6 individual, wide, flat gratin dishes.
Add the cherries, in an even layer, to the prepared baking dish.
In the bowl of a food processor, add the almonds, sugar, flour and salt and pulse until they are coarsely chopped. In a large bowl, using a whisk, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla and lemon zest until they are homogeneous. Add in the melted butter and the flour mixture and whisk until smooth. Pour over the cherries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with ice cream or whipped cream or both!
Oh cherry baby!

I agree with some of the other reviewers..Something about the directions is wrong.. I think the temp should be much higher, maybe 425 instead of 325.(I checked a similar recipe and it started out at 425 After waiting for it to set up for at least 30 minutes, I turned up the heat to 350 and it started puffing up but the center still looked eggy.
I used fresh figs and I think it would have been better, had the directions been right.
I might try again with different fruit.

Love this recipe! Easy and delicious. I have also substituted peaches in the summer, with brown sugar instead of white sugar.
