Como fazer Cherry Strata
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- Place 8 cups (approximately 16 slices) of cubed day-old bread into the prepared pan.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon almond extract until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans and 2 cups pitted fresh or frozen cherries.
- Evenly spoon the cream cheese mixture over the bread cubes in the pan. Top with the remaining bread cubes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and cream cheese layers.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the strata is golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let the strata stand for 5 minutes before serving.
- Top individual servings with warm cherry syrup (recipe follows).
- **Cherry Syrup:**
- Combine 2 cups pitted fresh or frozen cherries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup light corn syrup in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the cherries have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
- Serve warm over the strata.
