Cook time: 50 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

2 cups whole milk

3 large eggs

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a baking pan with a water bath.

2. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until tiny bubbles form around the edges; do not boil.

3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

4. Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

5. Pour the custard mixture into individual ramekins or a single baking dish.

6. Sprinkle the ground nutmeg evenly over the top.

7. Place the ramekins or baking dish into the prepared baking pan, making sure the water reaches halfway up the sides of the dish(es).

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is just set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

9. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
