Instructions
Step 1:
- Place your large pot on the stove. Fill it with six cups of water. Add a pinch of salt now.
Step 2:
- Turn the heat to a high setting. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Watch for the large bubbles.

Step 4:
- Lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot with a tight lid. Let them cook for five minutes.

Step 8:
- Whisk the eggs and milk together. Use a separate bowl for this. Add the garlic to this mix.
Step 9:

Step 10:
