Tigelada is a traditional Azorean Custard recipe. It is a delicious dessert that resembles creme-brulee but has slightly different components, and is cooked Portuguese style in a ceramic bowl. This is a smooth textured and sweet dessert that is very simple and easy to make but always sure to impress.

Ingredients:
2 cups milk
1 cups sugar
9 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Portuguese Ceramic cooking bowl

Directions
1) Preheat the oven to 355 degrees Fahrenheit.
2) Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl.
3) In a saucepan on medium heat add 3 tablespoons of sugar with 3 tablespoons of water while stirring with a spoon. Stir until it reaches a syrup consistency.
4) Pour the rest of the ingredients into the saucepan. Mix and let it cook for a couple of minutes until it is a smooth and even consistency.
5) Add the mixture to the ceramic bowl and bake in the oven for about one hour, or until the top has become golden brown, but not too much in order for the inside to remain soft and smooth.
6) Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve.
