Filling: Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add sugar, sour cream, flour & salt and whisk until combined.
Gently stir in the cherries. Spoon the mixture evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle the reserved crust mixture evenly over the filling.
Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and the filling is set. Cool for 1 hour before cutting and serving.
