Knead a soft dough with the flour, warm milk, yeast, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and 40 grams of the butter.
Let the dough rise for 45 minutes.
Mix the curd cheese, strained yogurt, 1 egg, half of the vanilla, and part of the sugar.
Separate the remaining eggs; beat the yolks with the cornstarch, remaining sugar, vanilla, and melted butter.
Foam the egg whites and gently fold them into the yolk mixture.
Spread the dough in the mold, spread the cheese layer over it, and pour on the egg layer.
Bake the Eierschecke in a 175°C oven for 42 minutes.
Rest the cake in the mold for 20 minutes, then cool completely.
💡 Tip: Do not overwhip the top layer; if the egg layer rises too much in the oven, it cracks in the center as it cools.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Cool the Eierschecke completely, cut it into squares, and serve with optional filter coffee or light tea.
