Kirschenmichel: Cherry bread pudding.
Kirschenmichel, also known as Cherry Bread Pudding, is a cherished traditional German dessert that features day-old bread soaked in a rich custard mixture with fresh or canned cherries. This comforting dish typically includes a blend of eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla essence for a touch of sweetness, and a pinch of cinnamon for warmth. The bread absorbs the custard, and when baked, creates a custard-like base dotted with juicy cherries throughout. Often dusted with powdered sugar and served warm, Kirschenmichel is a delightful treat that's both homey and satisfying, serving as a perfect way to use up leftover bread and enjoy cherry season.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 4-6
Equipment: Baking dish, mixing bowls, whisk, spatula, oven
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (approximately 390°F) with both top and bottom heat.
2. Cut the stale bread rolls into 1-2 cm cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour enough lukewarm milk over the bread cubes to soak them and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes until the bread has absorbed the milk.
3. While the bread is soaking, separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and set them aside for later use.
4. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, vanilla sugar, sugar, and baking powder. Mix these ingredients together with a whisk.
5. Stir the egg yolks into the butter and sugar mixture until well incorporated.
6. Gently fold in the soaked bread cubes into the butter, sugar, and egg mixture.
7. Carefully add in the drained cherries and fold them into the mixture as well.
8. Finally, gently fold in the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate them.
9. Grease your baking dish with butter or baking spray. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and distribute it evenly.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the casserole is golden brown and set.
11. Allow it to cool slightly, then serve warm and indulge in the rich, delicious flavors of this Cherry Bread Soufflé Casserole.
Cooking Tips:
- To prevent the casserole from becoming dense, ensure that the egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks and folded in gently to maintain their airy structure.
- For a different twist, you can replace the cherries with other fruits like blueberries or raspberries.
