Using a blender or an immersion blender, lightly blend eggs, sugar, flour, salt, half and half, and Greek yogurt just enough to make the batter smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes, allowing the gluten to relax and preventing a rubbery texture.
30 min - 3
Preheat the oven to 375F degrees.

Melt butter and put it into the baking pan, swirling around making sure it coats the sides.
- 5
Pour batter into the pan. Drop the cherries into the batter (adding them after keeps the batter from turning pinkish gray) drizzle any remaining juice over the top.

20 min - 7
Let cool 10 minutes before cutting.
