Soak the bread in 200ml of the milk. Cream together 100g of butter and 100g of sugar. Separate the eggs. Whisk the 4 egg yolks into the butter mixture. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Fold the beaten egg white in turn with the bread into the egg yolk mixture.

Preheat the oven to 150°C. Coat a buttered casserole dish with breadcrumbs. Layer in turn the batter and the cherries into the casserole dish. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Divide the remaining butter in flakes on top and sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Bake for 10 more minutes.

Bring 450ml of the milk with vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt to a boil. Mix together the remaining milk and the cornflour and stir this into the milk mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and fold in the remaining egg yolk.

Serve the cherry casserole with the hot vanilla sauce.
