Egg Custard
  1. 1

    Collect all the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Whisk the milk, eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a bowl until fully blended. Pour the egg mixture into 6 custard cups; sprinkle nutmeg on top.

  3. 3

    Set the cups in a baking pan and add enough hot water to the pan to come halfway up the sides of the custard cups.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the custard comes out clean and the custards are set, about 1 hour. Let cool completely before serving.
