Sirecz is a traditional Easter dish in many Eastern European countries, including Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine. This delicious cheese is often served as part of a larger Easter brunch or as a special treat during the Easter season. It's made from a simple mixture of eggs, milk, sugar, and a few spices, and is similar in texture to a quiche or frittata. Sirecz is traditionally served at room temperature and sliced into small wedges, and is often enjoyed with a side of ham or other Easter meats and a slice of traditional Easter bread.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350°F.
2.	Beat eggs and milk together in a large bowl.
3.	Add sugar, vanilla extract, and nutmeg to the bowl and mix well.
4.	Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake for about 45 minutes or until the cheese is set and golden brown on top.
5.	Allow the cheese to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Refrigerate any leftovers.
