Instructions

  1. Warm the milk to about 35 °C, just lukewarm to the touch, then add the rennet and stir gently.
  2. Leave to rest 30 to 40 minutes at room temperature, until you have a firm curd.
  3. Preheat the oven to 175 °C and butter an ovenproof dish.
  4. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar, flour, almonds, vanilla and salt.
  5. Gently fold the curd, broken up with a fork, into the egg mixture.
  6. Pour into the buttered dish, sprinkle with cinnamon and bake 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden and a skewer comes out clean.
  7. Let it cool slightly and serve with crème fraîche and blueberry jam.

Variations and tips

Berry version. Add fresh raspberries on top of the batter before baking for a tangy contrast.
