Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups whole milk
2 eggs (preferably free-range)
2 egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Freshly grated or ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • 2. Place six 4-ounce ovenproof cups (you can use ramekins, or coffee cups marked as oven-safe) in a deep baking pan just large enough to hold them.
  • 3. In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer over medium-low heat.
  • 4. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolks, sugar, and vanilla.
  • 5. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the simmering milk, whisking gently to combine.
  • 6. Pour the mixture through a fine strainer into the cups (if the strainer clogs, use a spoon to scrape it clean), then sprinkle lightly with the nutmeg.
  • 7. Pour hot (not boiling) water into the pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cups.
  • 8. Bake until the custard is just set (it can still be a little loose), 30 to 35 minutes.
  • 9. Let the custard cool in the water bath for about 2 hours before serving.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large eggs
2/3 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 c whole milk* (note below)
1 tsp pure vanilla
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Wisk all ingredients together, pour into a 9 1/2" deep dish pie plate lined with an unbaked pie pastry crust. Bake at 340 dF for approximately 1-hr 10-min or until set in the middle. Cover the pastry crust edges with a pie shield or foil after being in oven about 30 minutes; so it does not get tooo brown.
  • 2. *NOTE: I wanted to use sour milk instead so... I made 'sour milk' by adding 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice (can also use distilled white vinegar) in a 4-cup measuring vessel and adding the whole milk. Just gave it a stir and let set about 15 minutes to thicken and looked like it was begining to curdle.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 egg yolks
1/2 c sugar
1/3 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 c scalded milk
3/4 tsp vanilla
1 unbaked pie shell
oil

Steps:

  • 1. Beat eggs yolks slightly;beat in sugar, salt, nutmeg, scalded milk and vanilla. Brush pie shell lightly with oil. Pour egg mixture into pie shell. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake 25 to 30 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. The center may still look a bit soft but will set later. Baking too long makes custard watery. Best if served slightly warm.
