- 3 Tbsp sugar
Instructions

- Beat the egg whites until stiff and set aside.

Notes
This recipe can easily be doubled and baked in a larger pan. The bake time will be slightly longer.
Day-old bread with a nice crust is perfect for this recipe. Cut your fresh bread in chunks and let sit out overnight.
Instead of cherries, try strawberries or blueberries. Apple slices will be perfect, too.
