This South African original is similar to meatloaf, but so much better. A slightly sweet curry flavors ground beef with a milk and egg custard on top. It's delicious!

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  • Step 3
    Bake in the preheated oven 1 hour.

    While the bobotie bakes, whisk together the reserved milk, egg, and a pinch of salt. Pour over top of the dish. Lay the bay leaf onto the top of the milk mixture.
  • Step 5
    Return the bobotie to the oven until the top is golden brown, 15 to 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf before serving.
