Creamy Egg Custard
Ingredients
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 dash vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary ingredients beforehand.
2
Next, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
3
Combine milk, eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl using a whisk until they are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
4
Pour the resulting egg mixture into 6 individual serving cups; sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg on top of each cup.
5
Carefully position the custard cups in a baking pan, making sure they are aligned and secure.
6
Fill the baking pan with enough hot water to cover the tops of the custard cups halfway, creating a makeshift "water bath".
7
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake until a knife inserted into one of the custards comes out clean and the custards are fully set, taking approximately 1 hour.
8
Finally, allow the baked custards to cool completely before serving them.
