Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
Salt
1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (4 ounces)
5 large egg yolks, plus 1 large egg
2 cups heavy cream
Boiling water, for baking dish
Garnish: Crisped Prosciutto

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt until smooth. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, and add cheese. Whisk until smooth.
  • Whisk together egg yolks and egg in a medium bowl. Bring cream to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan. Gradually whisk hot cream into eggs. Whisk cream mixture into cheese mixture.
  • Divide custard evenly (about 1/4 cup each) among 16 eggcups or small ramekins. Place cups in a large baking dish or roasting pan. Add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of cups. Bake until set, about 25 minutes. Remove from water bath, and let cool. Garnish with crisped prosciutto.

These custard cups were a little too sweet for my taste, but overall they were still pretty good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my custard cups turned out watery and runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These custard cups were just okay. They weren't as fluffy as I expected and the flavor was a little too eggy for my taste.

I was a little disappointed with these custard cups. The flavor was bland and the texture was grainy. I think I might have overcooked them.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The custard cups are always light and fluffy, and the flavor is perfect. I love that I can make them ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.

This recipe is a keeper! The custard cups were light and fluffy, with a rich, creamy flavor. I loved the addition of the nutmeg and cinnamon, which gave them a warm, autumnal flavor. I will definitely be making these again soon. Five stars!
