Here's everything you want in a quick, delicious, easy-to-make 15-minute breakfast or brunch. And cleanup is a breeze since you utilize the microwave to cook down the chopped cherries and sugar, no stovetop or oven required for this recipe. Stir in a touch of almond extract to the cherry mixture for a savory punch of flavor that helps offset the sweetness. It wonderfully complements the toasted waffles, while the plain Greek yogurt helps bring it all together right before serving. If you can’t find fresh cherries, you can use thawed frozen dark sweet cherries instead, or feel free to experiment with whatever fresh berries you can find.
