8 eggs
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups white sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Make sure you have a 9 inch cake pan or tart pan ready.Combine eggs, condensed milk and vanilla in a blender or food processor until mixture is smooth.

Cook sugar in a medium size sauce pan until it becomes liquefied; being sure to stir constantly. As the sugar begins to turn light brown, remove from heat. Pour immediately into pan. Pour egg mixture over liquid sugar.

Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place baking dish on towel, inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish.

Bake 70 minutes in the preheated oven, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Remove pan from water bath and let cool completely, about 1 hour.

Run a knife along the edge of the pan, place a serving plate on top and invert. Serve and enjoy!
