Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cherry French Toast Bake.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x9-inch baking dish to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they’re smooth and creamy, setting the stage for a rich flavor.
Step 3
Next, take half of your bread slices and arrange them at the bottom of the prepared dish, tearing or slicing them as needed to fit snugly.
Step 4
Pour half of the whisked eggs over the bread, making sure each piece gets a good soak.
Step 5
Now, spread half of the cherry pie filling over the top, adding a burst of fruity sweetness.
Step 6
Layer the remaining bread slices on top, then gently pour the rest of the egg mixture over them, allowing some to seep through for extra moisture.
Step 7
To create a delightful creamy layer, spread Greek yogurt evenly over the top, sealing in all those wonderful flavors.
Step 8
Next, pour the remaining cherry pie filling over the yogurt, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is packed with goodness.
Step 9
In a separate bowl, combine softened butter, sugar, flour, chopped almonds (if you’re using them), and ground cinnamon (if you like a hint of spice).
Step 10
Mix everything together with a fork until it becomes crumbly, adjusting with more flour or sugar as needed to get that perfect texture.
Step 11
Sprinkle this delightful crumb mixture generously over the cherry filling, adding a lovely crunch to your bake.
Step 12
To catch any drips and make cleanup a breeze, place your baking dish on a baking sheet.
Step 13
Pop it into the preheated oven and let it bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is bubbling and beautifully golden.
Step 14
Once it’s done, allow your bake to cool for about 10 minutes before cutting it into squares.
Step 15
Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures that will surely impress your family and friends!.
