Leche Asada is super easy and quick to put together. This recipe fills 6-8 small ramekins or one large (1 1/2 quart) for family-style eating. You may want to set the custard in a water bath to make the cooking process more gentle. This will produce a very creamy, flan-like texture. Even without this step, this makes a great – dare I say – weeknight dessert.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Crack 6 eggs into a large mixing bowl.
- Add sugar and milk and whisk to combine.
- Strain all the icky egg stuff out and pour into individual ramekins or one 1 1/2 quart ramekin.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes in the small ramekins or for 1 hour in the large. (Setting them in a water bath will make them creamier).
- Chill for about an hour (though I also like it warm!).
- Sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon (if desired) and serve.
