Name: Œufs au Lait (Eggs and Milk)
Total time: 55 min
Ingredients: 1 vanilla pod; 4 cups whole milk; 6 medium eggs; ¾ cup sugar

Serves: 6

Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Step 2
Slice the top outer layer of the vanilla pod in half lengthwise. In a medium saucepan, bring the milk and the vanilla pod to a boil over medium heat. As soon as the milk boils, stop the heat. Cover and let the vanilla infuse the milk.
Step 3
In a large bowl, break the eggs and whisk them steadily with the sugar. Take the vanilla out of the milk saucepan, use a teaspoon to scrape out all the seeds, and put them all back in the milk. Pour the milk slowly in the eggs and sugar, whisking continuously until combined. Pour in a large rectangular baking dish (9" × 13" lasagna dish, for example).
Step 4
Put in the oven for 45 minutes. The Œufs au Lait are ready when you can dip a knife in it and the blade comes out clean. A slight golden crust should appear.
Step 5
Serve lukewarm or cold.
