Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

12 tablespoons melted Ghee or clarified butter, divided
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon table salt
14 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
1 ¼ cups whole milk
¼ cup heavy cream
5 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush 1 tablespoon butter in bottom and up sides of a 9 1/2-inch deep dish pie plate.
Combine sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl.
Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a cutting board or clean work surface; brush butter over 1 side. Carefully scrunch up phyllo by pushing the short sides towards another to create a rope.

Loosely wrap into a coil and place in the center of the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and butter, placing and forming around the center coil to form a concentric circle, packing them in tightly.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
While phyllo bakes, heat milk and cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat.
Whisk together eggs, vanilla, and remaining spiced sugar mixture in a bowl; gradually add hot milk, whisking constantly, until combined. Immediately pour spiced milk over phyllo in the baking dish and return to the oven.
Bake until custard is just set, 20 to 25 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tortilla Española

I make this Spanish tortilla recipe all the time at home. My boyfriend's family is Spanish, and he loves this dish. It's easy to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser. Traditionally, this dish uses only onions, potatoes, and egg; however, I like to add a little green, either parsley or chives.

Turkey in a Bag

Cooking turkey in a bag is easy with this recipe. Your Thanksgiving turkey will be perfectly moist when done, and you can make gravy out of the juice that forms in the bottom of the bag. Plus, cleanup is a snap! The cooking time will vary if your turkey is larger or smaller than 12 pounds.

Dorito Casserole

This dorito casserole is slightly reminiscent of chilaquiles and perfect for a weeknight dinner. Have fun customizing the taste by selecting a different dorito flavor.

Roquefort Pear Salad

I love to make this pear salad in the fall or for the holidays! It's tangy from the blue cheese, fruity from the pears, and crunchy from the caramelized pecans. A drizzle of the mustard vinaigrette pulls it all together for a fantastic festive side.

Khachapuri (Georgian Cheese Bread)

Ajarski khachapuri is a boat-shaped Georgian bread with a cheese-stuffed crust and an egg baked into the center. It's only a matter of time before this fun bread is delivered to every home for pizza night and ordered from every brunch menu the morning after. This versatile bread takes a little finesse, but the payoff is well worth it; after all, what more could you want other than cheesy, soft, chewy bread dipped in runny yolk and molten cheese?
