Grease the baking dish lightly with butter.
Beat the eggs with the sugar for 3 minutes, until homogeneous and pale.
Add the milk little by little and combine the mixture on low speed for 2 minutes.
Add the vanilla and skim the foam from the surface with a spoon so the top bakes cleanly.
Pour the mixture into the dish and bake in a 170°C oven for 50 to 55 minutes, until the top browns.
Rest the baked kaymacina at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for 40 minutes, then slice.
💡 Tip: Whisk the eggs until homogeneous rather than foamy; too much air makes the dessert puff in the oven and then form hard cracks.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Rest kaymacina for at least 1 hour and slice it cold; serve like a milk dessert with optional Turkish coffee.
