CAPE VERDE: Pudim de Queijo (Cheese Pudding)

Just in case it doesn’t work out, here is a pre-flip shot. If it goes alright, I’ll have a fab post-flip…

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
8 oz soft goat cheese, grated or crumbled
6 egg yolks, beaten
2 egg whites, beaten.
brown sugar
white sugar
Directions

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350F.

Place sugar and water in a medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil mixture until it becomes a thick syrup, stirring frequently. Add the cheese and mix well. Remove from the heat. Add the egg yolks and white and mix well.

Sprinkle the bottom of a 8″x8″ glass baking pan with brown sugar. Pour the pudding mixture in. Place the baking pan in a larger pan with 2/3″ water and bake in the oven until it sets, check after about 30 minutes. Once set, remove from oven, cool and sprinkle with white sugar before serving.
