CHERRY FRENCH TOAST BREAKFAST BAKE



Cherry French Toast Breakfast Bake image

This tastes like French toast with cherries and cream. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave or toaster oven. I created this to clean out my fridge and cupboards, but it can be made ahead to bake the next day!

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 eggs
6 slices bread, or more to taste
1 (12 ounce) can cherry pie filling
1 cup Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons butter, softened
3 tablespoons white sugar, or more as needed
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or more as needed
2 tablespoons chopped almonds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
  • Whisk eggs in a bowl until smooth.
  • Line the bottom of the prepared dish with half of the bread. Bread can be sliced or torn to cover the bottom of the dish flat. Pour half of the eggs over and spread to the edges to saturate bread. Spread half of the pie filling over.
  • Line the dish with remaining bread and pour remaining eggs over to saturate; some may leak through below and that is okay. Cover with yogurt and spread evenly to seal the top. Pour remaining pie filling over and spread evenly.
  • Place butter, sugar, flour, almonds, and cinnamon into a bowl. Work the dry ingredients into the butter with a fork to create crumbs, adding more flour and sugar if needed to get the right consistency. Sprinkle crumb over the top of the cherry filling. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the center topping is bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting with a spatula to serve.

CHERRY-ALMOND GRANOLA CRISP



Cherry-Almond Granola Crisp image

For all the cobbler and crisp lovers, here's a simple dish that you can eat for breakfast or dessert. Chewy clusters of almonds and oats brown in the oven after getting coated in a nutty and floral browned-butter honey syrup. While the granola clusters caramelize, the bed of sweet cherries they rest over turns tender and juicy. Warm out of the oven, this crisp belongs in a bowl with your favorite yogurt, some of the warm cherry sauce drizzled over top, and maybe even a good shaving of dark chocolate or orange zest, if you have some.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound/225 grams sweet cherries, halved and pitted (about 1 1/4 packed cups)
1/3 cup/115 milliliters honey
4 tablespoons/60 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup/100 grams sliced almonds
1/2 cup/50 grams rolled oats
Yogurt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread out the cherry halves in the bottom of an 8-inch square (or 9-inch round) baking dish. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, add the honey, butter and salt. Bring to a foaming boil over medium heat, then cook 3 to 4 minutes until the honey thickens, stirring often so it never burns. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla - it will spatter slightly - then fold in the almonds and oats, continuing to stir until the oats absorb all the honey syrup.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the mixture across the cherries, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until the almonds are almost a mahogany brown and the cherries are tender and juicy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes, so the granola hardens slightly, then serve with yogurt.

I never liked French toast, but these sticks are the best. No need to have syrup or anything, they are good as-is.

1 teaspoon brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Tips:

  • To make sure the french toast sticks are evenly coated in the egg mixture, whisk the eggs and milk together in a shallow dish before dipping the bread slices.
  • To get the perfect golden brown crust on the french toast sticks, cook them over medium heat in a non-stick skillet. Be patient and don't overcrowd the pan, or the bread will steam instead of fry.

    For a fun and festive twist, try dipping the french toast sticks in melted chocolate or caramel sauce before serving.

    If you're using frozen cherries, be sure to thaw them before using. You can also use fresh cherries, but be sure to pit them first.

    Garnish the french toast sticks with fresh mint or powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
