1-Start by preheating your oven to 375°F to get everything ready for baking. This step sets the stage for a dessert that will impress with its golden finish and tender texture.

2-First, melt the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet or baking dish, then arrange the 2½ cups of stemmed and pitted cherries evenly across the base. In a blender, mix the 3 large eggs, 1 cup of whole or 2% milk, ¼ cup heavy cream, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ⅛ teaspoon almond extract until smooth and well combined.

3-Pour this batter over the cherries in the dish for even coverage. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes, until it’s golden brown, just set with a slight jiggle, and a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool for 30 minutes before serving, and dust with confectioners’ sugar if you like.
