Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325º.

Combine eggs, sugar, and salt in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk.

Cook milk in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat to 180º or until tiny bubbles form around edge (do not boil). Remove milk from heat, and gradually add to the egg mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts. Pour into a deep 2-quart soufflé dish coated with cooking spray. Place casserole in a 13 × 9-inch baking pan, and add hot water to the pan to a depth of 1 inch. Bake at 325º for 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in center of custard comes out almost clean. Remove casserole from pan; serve custard warm or chilled.
