Crack the eggs into the mixing bowl and discard the shells. Add the vanilla and the rest of the milk to the bowl. Whisk to combine.
Stir the rice and the cherries into the mixture with a wooden spoon. Transfer the pudding to the baking dish or ramekins.
Bake for 30 to 45 minutes. Smaller dishes bake faster.
Use potholders to take the dish out of the oven. The middle should still jiggle a little when the dish is shaken. It will firm up as it cools. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
