Baked French Toast with Cherry Topping

Yield:
6 to 8 servings

Ingredients:

  1. 1-1/2 cups milk
  2. 6 eggs
  3. 1/3 cup maple syrup
  4. 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
  5. 1 Tablespoon grated orange peel
  6. 1/8 teaspoon salt
  7. 8 slices (4-1/2 x 3-1/2 x 1/2-inch) French bread
  8. 4 cups pitted Northwest fresh sweet cherries, halved
  9. 1/2 cup orange juice
  10. Vanilla yogurt
Directions:

Combine milk, eggs, maple syrup, 2 Tablespoons sugar, orange peel and salt; mix well.

Pour half of mixture into each of two 9-inch square baking dishes. Dip both sides of each slice of bread in milk mixture; arrange in the same baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Marinate cherries in orange juice and remaining 1 Tablespoon sugar overnight.

Carefully transfer bread slices to a nonstick, buttered baking sheet using a large spatula; allow excess liquid to drip into pan used for soaking overnight.

Bake in a preheated 400 degree F. oven 15 to 18 minutes; turn slices over halfway through baking time. Top each slice with 1/2 cup cherries and a dollop of vanilla yogurt. Serve immediately.
