Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup poppy seeds
- 1 cup milk
- 4 oz unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs beaten
Instructions
- Grind the poppy seeds in a mill or coffee grinder.
- Combine the milk, butter, salt, and sugar in a saucepan. Turn the heat to low and stir the mixture often until the sugar dissolves.
- Slowly, whisk in the eggs and continue to stir the mixture until it begins to thicken, about 15-20 minutes (it should resemble the consistency of sweetened condensed milk). Note: If you let the mixture sit too long, the eggs will cook and begin to scramble.
- Add the poppy seeds into the sauce pan and stir to combine. Remove the poppy seed filling from heat and allow it to cool at room temperature.
- Once it's completely cooled, transfer the filling to an airtight container and store it for up to a week. Enjoy it spread on toast or added to your favorite baked goods!
