Anchored by sugar, eggs and sweetened condensed milk, this dessert dish starts by heating the oven to 350F/175C and comes together in about 20 minutes -- the kind of medium recipe that earns a permanent spot in the rotation.

Ready in 20 minutes -- genuinely doable on a weeknight.

A few technique steps to focus on, but nothing that needs special equipment.

Built around sugar, so the flavor comes from real ingredients, not a spice packet.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar (for the caramel)
  • 4 eggs
  • plus 5 more ingredients

Method

Heat the oven to 350F/175C. Make the caramel: melt the sugar in a dry pan over medium heat, swirling (not stirring), until it turns a deep amber. Immediately pour it into a round baking dish and tilt to coat the base. Be careful - caramel is very hot.
