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.

This recipe was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my kids loved it! I think next time I'll use less cheese or maybe even a different type of cheese.

This was a really good recipe! I made it for my family and they all loved it. The custard was creamy and flavorful, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! It turned out nothing like the picture. The texture was runny and the flavor was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This was just okay. I thought it was a bit too bland and the texture was not as creamy as I would have liked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I also found the texture to be a bit too firm. I think I would have preferred it to be more creamy. Overall, I was disappointed with this recipe.
