3-Ingredient Creamy Milk

 How to Make 3-Ingredient Creamy Milk

Creamy baked milk is a simple, delicate dessert with a melt-in-your-mouth texture, perfect for any occasion, from a family lunch to a special snack. See below the list of all ingredients and required quantities. And then, a very complete preparation method with details of the recipe.

Recipe Ingredients:

4 large eggs
4 cups of milk (1 liter)
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional, for a special aroma)
Ground cinnamon (optional, for sprinkling and enhancing the flavor)

Instructions:

Initial Egg Mixture: First, crack the eggs into a large bowl. Then, use a fork or whisk to lightly beat them, just enough to combine the yolks and whites evenly. There’s no need to beat too much.

Adding the Sugar: Next, add the sugar to the beaten eggs. Mix well until the sugar is fully dissolved, ensuring a smooth and uniform texture.

Incorporating the Milk: After that, pour the milk into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring until everything is well combined. If you prefer, add vanilla extract for a special and aromatic touch.

Preparing the Glass Dish: Then, grease a glass baking dish with butter or margarine, making sure to cover the entire surface. This will prevent the dessert from sticking during baking.

Transferring the Mixture: Carefully pour the mixture into the greased glass dish. Ensure that the surface is level to allow even baking.

Baking: Preheat the oven to 356 ºF (180 ºC) and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the texture is firm. To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the baked dessert is ready.

Cooling and Finishing: Finally, remove the glass dish from the oven and let it cool completely before serving. For a final touch, sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top, if desired.

WOULD ANYONE EAT THIS FRIED CABBAGE

 This Fried Cabbage recipe is a savory, comforting side dish that’s full of flavor. The crispy bacon, sautéed onions, and garlic pair perfectly with tender cabbage to create an easy-to-make classic that’s sure to please!

Ingredients (Serves 4-6)

6 slices of bacon, chopped

1 large head of cabbage, cored and sliced

1 large onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

1 tablespoon bacon grease or butter (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

Cook the Bacon

In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the bacon pieces until they’re crispy.

Once cooked, remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.

Sauté the Onion and Garlic

In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Cook the Cabbage

Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to coat the cabbage in the bacon grease and mix with the onions and garlic.

Season with salt and black pepper (if using).

Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized.

Add the Bacon Back

Return the crispy bacon to the skillet and mix it into the cabbage. For extra richness, stir in 1 tablespoon of butter or reserved bacon grease.

Serve Warm

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot as a delicious side dish with your favorite main course.

Tips for Success

Bacon Grease: Leave just enough bacon grease to coat the cabbage—if it’s too much, drain a bit off before adding the onions.

Caramelized Flavor: Let the cabbage sit undisturbed for a minute or two while cooking to achieve a light caramelization.

Spice It Up: Add red pepper flakes for a little heat or a splash of apple cider vinegar for tanginess.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this dish with grilled pork chops, roast chicken, or smoked sausage for a full meal.

Serve alongside mashed potatoes or cornbread for ultimate comfort food vibes.
