MICROWAVED ' BAKED' EGG CUSTARD



Microwaved ' Baked' Egg Custard image

A quick easy egg custard for times when comfort food is needed. **Note.....This recipe is for a 700wt microwave. For other wattage ovens check your book that came with it for guidelines. For my new Panasonic 1200wt oven which has 1-10 power levels, I heat milk on Hi (100%power) for the 3mins then for cooking I use P3 (30% power)and cook at this level for 5mins, stir, then cook another 5 mins at P3, then leave to stand covered for 5mins. As all ovens are different this is a guide only. Experiments may be needed to get the best result.

BAKED CUSTARD



Baked Custard image

This is a snap to make: you do no more than heat some milk with a vanilla pod, if you have one, and then beat the milk into some eggs and sugar. I don't split the pod, much as I love the sight of those aromatic little black seeds; I like the vanilla taste here to be delicate rather than perfumed. Certainly it's fine to use a good quality vanilla extract instead. The custard must be cooked in a bain-marie or water bath. You place the dish of custard in a shallow baking dish. Fill this second dish with enough boiling water to come about halfway up the sides of the custard dish. The water bath stops the custard from splitting and keeps the texture perfectly silky and smooth.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 vanilla bean or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
Freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Fill a teakettle with water, and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine milk and vanilla bean, if using. Heat just until warm, then remove vanilla bean, and reserve for another use. If not using bean, add vanilla extract after milk is heated.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolks and sugar. Pour in vanilla-infused milk, whisking until smooth. Strain mixture into a pie plate of 4 to 5 cups capacity (about 9 inches in diameter). Sprinkle with nutmeg.
  • Place pie plate in a large shallow baking dish, and fill with boiling water to come halfway up side of pie plate. Place in oven and bake until custard is set, about 1 hour. Remove baking pan from oven, and transfer pie plate to a rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve while slightly warm, preferably about 30 minutes after removing from oven.

Tips:

  • Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help ensure even baking and a smooth custard.
  • Use a microwave-safe mug or ramekin that is at least 6 ounces in size. This will allow the custard to rise without overflowing.
  • Grease the inside of the mug or ramekin with butter or cooking spray to prevent the custard from sticking.
  • Whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter custard.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk and vanilla extract. Be sure to mix until all of the ingredients are well combined.
  • Microwave the custard on high power for 1-2 minutes at a time, stirring in between. This will help prevent the custard from curdling.
  • Once the custard has thickened and reached a temperature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit, remove it from the microwave and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Baked custard in a mug is a quick and easy dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can have a delicious and satisfying treat. So next time you're craving something sweet, give this recipe a try.
