Ingredients
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
4 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
Equipment
Large mixing bowl
Whisk
Measuring cup
Fine-mesh strainer
8-inch round baking dish or similar oven-safe dish
Larger baking pan for the water bath
Kettle or saucepan for hot water
Aluminum foil
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Place the oven rack in the middle position so the custard can bake evenly. Lightly grease your baking dish with a small amount of butter or neutral oil. You don't need much—just enough to make serving easier later.
Step 2: Mix the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl.
Whisk them gently until the yolks and whites are completely combined. Try not to beat the eggs aggressively. Excessive whisking can create lots of air bubbles, which may leave tiny holes in the finished custard.
The goal is a smooth mixture rather than a frothy one.
