Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups 2% milk
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium-size bowl, beat the eggs on medium-low speed for 30 seconds.
  • Add the sugar, salt and vanilla. Whisk gently until mixed.
  • Pour the milk into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 1 minute increments until the temperature of the milk reaches 180 degrees.* Stir between each time interval to distribute the heat. Depending on the bowl and microwave you use, this will take about 5 minutes. Be sure not to let the milk boil.
  • Remove 1 cup of the heated milk and slowly drizzle it into the egg mixture, whisking the eggs quickly the entire time.**
  • Slowly pour the remainder of the milk over the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  • Beat with a hand mixer for 20-30 seconds.
  • Pour the custard into 10 6-ounce ramekins, dividing the custard equally between the cups. There is no need to grease the ramekins.
  • Place the ramekins in a 10x15" baking pan with sides about as tall as the ramekins.
  • Sprinkle nutmeg overtop the custard.
  • Heat about 10 cups of water, not quite to boiling but very hot, on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Pour the hot water into the pan around the ramekins, being careful not to get any of the water into the custard itself.
  • Carefully place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The exact time may depend on the size and shape of the ramekins you use. The custard is done when you insert a knife into the center of a cup and it comes out clean.
  • Serve cold or warm as desired, with whipped cream.
  • Refrigerate any leftovers.
