Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat an 11-by-7-inch glass baking dish or a 2-quart casserole with cooking
spray. Whisk egg whites, eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Add sugar, vanilla, whiskey and cinnamon: whisk to combine. Toss bread, cherries, chocolate chops and 1/4 cup almonds in a large bowl. Add the custard and toss well to coat. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and push down to compact. Cover with foil. Bake until the custard has set, 40 to 45 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with 1/4 cup almonds and continue baking until the pudding is puffed and golden on top, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
Toast sliced almonds in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. You can also substitute roasted piņons (pine nuts) in place of the almonds. |
