Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the half-and-half and the vanilla bean to just a simmer, and then immediately remove the pan from the heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and the sugar until they are smooth and add a small bit of the hot vanilla cream, stirring constantly.
- Immediately transfer the warmed egg mixture back into the hot cream and continue whisking until they are completely incorporated.
- Heat the mixture over low-medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reads 170 degrees on a digital candy thermometer or is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat, stir in the Calvados, and chill the custard completely before serving it.
