ingredients
- 30 eggs
- 1587.57 g evaporated milk
- 1020.58 g condensed milk
- sugar
directions
- Prepare caramel base by putting 1-2 tbsps sugar on each linera and running the pans on the stove, using tongs to move pans over very low flame. It will take just a couple of minutes to melt the sugar into a rich, brown liquid.
- Separate yolks. Remove all white as possible.
- Add evaporated and condensed milk.
- Mix mixture with a spoon in one circular direction, avoiding building of “foams” in the mixture.
- Strain the mixture into lineras with a cheesecloth to remove the excess white part of the egg.
- Cover the lineras tightly with aluminum foil.
- Arrange lineras in a deep aluminum pan (ones used for roasting or those used for serving in buffets will do nicely) filled with water halfway of the lineras.
- Add more water in the middle of the cooking time, if needed, to prevent burning of bottom.
- Cook in oven at 375°F for around 30-40 minutes. The water-bath is more like “steam-cooking” than baking. Insert a toothpick in the center to check if done.
- Cool in the refrigerator for a few hours.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I love to cook, and bake...and eat, of course. I've worked as a dietary manager in skilled nursing facilities for the past 15 years. I guess you can I say I do for work what I love to do for play.
My hobbies include recipe collection and improvisation. Fun fact about me is: I have over 2,000 recipes that I have clipped and have pasted to over 40 bulky binders. Some of these recipes, I have tried, loved and modified a bit. But most of them I have yet to taste and discover.
A few months I joined the blogging world and started to post my treasured collection. Joyful ride it has been so far!
