CHERRY UPSIDE-DOWN BREAD PUDDING
I've always loved bread pudding, and I enjoy fixing this for my family on a chilly day. You could use a different flavor of pie filling and omit the chocolate chips to make a completely different dessert. It's always delicious! -Ronna Farley, Rockville, Maryland

CHERRY BREAD PUDDING
Not only is bread pudding a great use of leftover bread, it's rich, satisfying, and delicious comfort food. The juice from the baked cherries makes this a very moist, tender, and sweet bread pudding. Good served with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

CHERRY BREAD PUDDING
This is inspired by a recipe by the French baker Jacquy Pfeiffer, whose French Pastry School in Chicago is the only school of its kind in the country. Jacquy's recipe, called a bettelmann, is a traditional Alsatian dish made with day-old brioche. This version, made with regular or whole-wheat bread, is not as rich.

Steps:
- Cut the bread into 3/4-inch squares. Combine the milk and vanilla and toss with the bread in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or longer.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-inch ceramic tart pan or 2-quart baking dish. Arrange the pitted cherries in the dish.
- Remove the soaked bread from the refrigerator and beat with a whisk or an immersion blender until it becomes a mush. Beat in the egg yolks, almond flour, cinnamon, kirsch if using, and honey.
- In a clean, dry bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, begin beating the egg whites on low speed. Gradually add the sugar, turn up the speed to high and whip until the egg whites form a soft meringue, about 1 minute. Be careful not to overbeat, as you do not want the mixture to dry out. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the bread mixture. Scrape into the baking dish. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.
- Bake 40 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Serve warm.
