Provided by Julie Clark

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups 2% milk
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a medium-size bowl, beat the eggs on medium-low speed for 30 seconds.
  • Add the sugar, salt and vanilla. Whisk gently until mixed.
  • Pour the milk into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 1 minute increments until the temperature of the milk reaches 180 degrees.* Stir between each time interval to distribute the heat. Depending on the bowl and microwave you use, this will take about 5 minutes. Be sure not to let the milk boil.
  • Remove 1 cup of the heated milk and slowly drizzle it into the egg mixture, whisking the eggs quickly the entire time.**
  • Slowly pour the remainder of the milk over the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  • Beat with a hand mixer for 20-30 seconds.
  • Pour the custard into 10 6-ounce ramekins, dividing the custard equally between the cups. There is no need to grease the ramekins.
  • Place the ramekins in a 10x15" baking pan with sides about as tall as the ramekins.
  • Sprinkle nutmeg overtop the custard.
  • Heat about 10 cups of water, not quite to boiling but very hot, on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Pour the hot water into the pan around the ramekins, being careful not to get any of the water into the custard itself.
  • Carefully place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The exact time may depend on the size and shape of the ramekins you use. The custard is done when you insert a knife into the center of a cup and it comes out clean.
  • Serve cold or warm as desired, with whipped cream.
  • Refrigerate any leftovers.

Baked Savory Custard With Cheese image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, appetizer, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups cream, half-and-half or milk
1 sprig thyme, optional
1 clove garlic, optional
3 eggs plus 2 yolks
Pinch cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup grated semihard cheese, like Gruyère, Comté or Emmenthal
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Put cream in a small pot with thyme and garlic, if you're using them. Cook just until it begins to steam. Heat oven to 300 degrees and set a kettle of water to boil.
  • Put eggs, cayenne and salt in a medium bowl and whisk or beat until blended; stir in the cheese. Remove thyme and garlic from cream, then add cream gradually to egg mixture, whisking constantly. Pour mixture into a 1-quart dish or into 4 ramekins or custard cups.
  • Put dish or ramekins in a deep baking pan and pour boiling water in, to within about 1 inch of top of dish or ramekins. Bake until mixture is not quite set; it should jiggle a bit in middle. This will take about 30 minutes for ramekins and longer for baking dish; also, cream sets faster than milk. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold within a few hours of baking.
