Cherry Vanilla Breakfast Pie

With blogger's new format I suddenly can see all these entries I started and never finished.  Ahhh...the forgotten cherry pie!  Who wouldn't want to eat pie for breakfast?  

Yields 2 pies

- Your favorite pie crust
- 4 eggs
- 1 quart of cherries, pitted and stemmed (fresh are best, but frozen will do)
- 1 T stevia
- 1 T vanilla
- 1/4 T sea salt
- 1/2 cup your favorite unflavored protein powder (optional)
- 3 T gelatin (I use gelatin made from grass fed beef)

Preheat oven to 450
Place bottom crust in pie pan, poke holes with toothpick and cook for 15 minutes, just until firm.
Meanwhile mix cherries, 3 eggs (thoroughly whisked), stevia, vanilla, sea salt, protein powder and gelatin in  a large bowl, combining thoroughly.
Reduce heat to 375
Divide cherry mixture between two pies
Cover with top crust and wash with remaining egg
Cook for 30 minutes - you may want to cover crust edges for the last 10 minutes to avoid over-browning
Let cool / refrigerate overnight
Enjoy!
