Old Fashioned Egg Custard Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Step 2

Heat the milk in a large saucepan until bubbles form around the edges. Toss the eggs, sugar, and salt in a blender and give it a few pulses until nice and smooth.

Step 3

Once the milk is hot, remove it from the stove top. Slowly add the milk into the eggs while whisking vigorously.

Step 4

Once the milk and eggs are combined, stir in the vanilla.

Step 5

Pour the custard mixture into a 9×13 casserole dish {or small custard cups} and sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg. Place the casserole dish in a large roasting pan and fill the pan with enough water to reach about 1 inch from the top of the casserole dish.

Step 6

Bake for about 45 minutes or until the custard has just set. Be careful not to over cook.
