"This is one of my favorite foods when I am feeling blah. It is sweet and comforting and full of mild protein. Use custard cups or one casserole bowl."

Ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup white sugar (Reviewers suggested less sugar)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 dash vanilla extract
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla together in a bowl until completely combined. Pour egg mixture into 6 custard cups; sprinkle tops with nutmeg. Place cups in a baking pan and fill pan with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the custard cups.

Bake in the preheated oven until custards are set, about 1 hour. Cool completely.
