Tyropatinam
Tyropatinam , also Tiropatinam , is a dessert that was part of the food culture in the Roman Empire . A recipe has come down to us in the book De re coquinaria . According to this, Tyropatinam was prepared from milk sweetened with honey and eggs , with five eggs per sextarius (approx. 0.6 liters) of milk being used. The passed mass was then boiled until stiff on a low flame and then sprinkled with pepper . This recipe is similar to that for custard or flan. As far as is known, the Romans were the first to use milk and eggs to make such dishes.
