4Large Eggs
1tspVanilla Extract
½tspGrated Nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit.
In a saucepan combine condensed milk and evaporated milk and stir until completely mixed together.
Warm on low to medium heat until almost boiling, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine eggs vanilla extract and about ¼ tsp. grated nutmeg. Whisk until eggs are fluffy.
Next, add small amounts of warm milk to the eggs mixture while whisking vigorously. This is called tempering the eggs and is an important step to prevent the eggs from cooking and becoming scrambled eggs.
Once the milk is completely added to the eggs mixture, pour mixture into a greased baking dish. You may also use small individual ramekins for a more personalized touch.
