In a blender, combine eggs, granulated sugar, milk, cream, flour, orange juice, orange zest, almond extract and salt. Blend until smooth.

  • Arrange cherries in the prepared skillet. Carefully pour batter over berries. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and bake for 25 to 30 minutes more (20 to 25 minutes more for smaller pans) or until filling is set and top is golden brown.

  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm with creme fraiche.

*To use frozen berries:

Arrange frozen cherries on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Thaw for 10 to 15 minutes (berries will not be fully thawed). Transfer to skillet, trying not to break cherries.
