Tigelada is a traditional Portuguese dessert known for its simplicity and creamy texture. With just three ingredients—eggs, sugar, and milk—it’s a nostalgic treat often baked in clay bowls for an authentic touch. Here’s how you can make it:
🥄 Ingredients
- 5–6 medium eggs
- 500 ml milk
- 7 tablespoons granulated sugar
Optional flavorings: lemon zest, cinnamon stick, or a sprinkle of cinnamon powder after baking.
🔥 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 150–180ºC (300–350ºF).
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add sugar and mix lightly.
- Slowly pour in milk, stirring gently.
- Pour mixture into clay bowls or a large baking dish.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden brown. Use a toothpick to check doneness—it should come out clean.
- Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
- Serve in the same dish, optionally sprinkled with cinnamon.
