Ingredients
- 2 cups of fresh sweet cherries, pitted

- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 tsp almond extract
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Butter and lightly flour a 10-12" frypan. Scatter cherries and sliced almonds over the bottom of the dish.
- Whisk the eggs and sugars together until smooth, then add in the salt and flour and whisk again until smooth.
- Add the milk, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour batter into the baking dish over the cherries and almonds.
- Bake at 350°F for 35-45 minutes or until lightly browned and a knife poked into the center comes out clean.
