TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + chilling Bake: 45 min. + standing YIELD: 9 servings.
Our family often took this decadent breakfast souffle to a local park on Father's Day. It's easy to make the night before, pop in the oven the next morning and go!—Sharon Ricci, Mendon, New York

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 3/4 cup dried cherries, divided
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 cups cubed brioche or egg bread
  • 1-1/2 cups cubed Havarti cheese

Directions

  • 1. Pour orange juice over 1/2 cup cherries in a small bowl; let stand 15 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, orange zest, vanilla, cinnamon and salt until blended. Stir in cherry mixture. Gently stir in bread cubes; transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Refrigerate, covered, several hours or overnight.
