Baked Egg Custard

By Violet_61

No big, bold flavors here--this dessert is deliciously delicate. Just like grandma made when we were children!

Ingredients

• 3 slightly beaten eggs
• 1/4 cups sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 cups milk, scalded
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• Ground or freshly grated nutmeg

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Combine eggs, sugar, and salt. Slowly add milk and vanilla.

Pour into 6 custard cups; sprinkle with nutmeg on top of each serving.

Bake in a pan of hot water until mixture doesn't cling to a knife, about 40 minutes.

Serve warm or chilled.
