Ingredients
– 4 large eggs
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (plus a little extra for garnish)
– 2 1/2 cups whole milk
– 1 cup heavy cream
– Hot water, for the water bath
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and have six custard cups or ramekins at the ready.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until they’re just combined – you’re not after a frothy mixture, just a friendly blending of the two.
3. Next, stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and nutmeg. Add the warmth of tradition by grating in a touch of fresh nutmeg if you have it on hand.
