Ingredients:
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons of sugar (about 1.6 oz or 45g)
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch (about 1 oz or 30g)
- 4 to 5 drops of vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 1/4 cups of milk (about 10.1 fl oz or 300ml)
- 1 slice of cheddar cheese (optional)
- A piece of butter (for greasing)
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, place the egg yolk. Add the sugar and salt and mix until the sugar and salt are incorporated and the mixture turns yellowish.
- Add the cornstarch and mix well. Include the vanilla extract if you’re using it.
- Add the milk to the mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well dissolved. Make sure there are no lumps of starch.
- Over low heat, warm the mixture, stirring continuously. After about a minute, when the milk is warm, add the slice of cheddar cheese. Keep stirring until the cheese melts completely.
- Continue cooking on low heat, stirring to increase viscosity. When the mixture begins to thicken and bubbles appear, turn off the heat.
- Let the mixture cool slightly and transfer to a heat-resistant container, leveling it to a uniform surface. Tap the container lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- After the cooling time, cut the pudding into small pieces.
- In a skillet, melt a piece of butter over medium heat. Place the pieces of pudding in the skillet, letting them brown for approximately 3 minutes on each side.
- Serve the baked cream pudding pieces hot or cold, enjoying the luxurious flavor and unique texture
