Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a medium-size bowl, beat the eggs on medium-low speed for 30 seconds.
- Add the sugar, salt and vanilla. Whisk gently until mixed.
- Pour the milk into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 1 minute increments until the temperature of the milk reaches 180 degrees.* Stir between each time interval to distribute the heat. Depending on the bowl and microwave you use, this will take about 5 minutes. Be sure not to let the milk boil.
- Remove 1 cup of the heated milk and slowly drizzle it into the egg mixture, whisking the eggs quickly the entire time.**
- Slowly pour the remainder of the milk over the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
- Beat with a hand mixer for 20-30 seconds.
- Pour the custard into 10 6-ounce ramekins, dividing the custard equally between the cups. There is no need to grease the ramekins.
- Place the ramekins in a 10x15" baking pan with sides about as tall as the ramekins.
- Sprinkle nutmeg overtop the custard.
- Heat about 10 cups of water, not quite to boiling but very hot, on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Pour the hot water into the pan around the ramekins, being careful not to get any of the water into the custard itself.
- Carefully place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The exact time may depend on the size and shape of the ramekins you use. The custard is done when you insert a knife into the center of a cup and it comes out clean.
- Serve cold or warm as desired, with whipped cream.
- Refrigerate any leftovers.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Heat the oven to 325 F. Place four 6-ounce custard cups (ramekins) in a large baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, salt, and sugar.
- Divide the custard mixture evenly among the custard cups.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 55 minutes (depending on the depth of the baking dish), or until the custard is set. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean, and the custard should still have a slight jiggle in the center.
- Garnish with raspberries and mint, if desired. Serve immediately or chill until cold. Enjoy.

BAKED BROWN SUGAR CUSTARDS
Steps:
- These gorgeous and very simple little desserts are somewhat like creme caramel or French 'flan'. The brown sugar adds a delicious, rich, toffee-ish flavor. You can even bake them in little espresso cups.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Add the brown sugar, and mix well.
- Place the milk, cream and orange zest, if using, into a saucepan and bring up to a simmer. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and gradually pour into the egg and sugar mixture, whisking continuously. Pour the custard mixture through a sieve and into a large jug, and skim off any froth from the surface.
- Place the cups or ramekins in a baking dish, or wide shallow pan, and fill them up with the custard. Pour enough hot water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the cups or ramekins (known as a bain-marie) and cover with foil. Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes, or until the custards are just set in the center.
- Remove the custards from the baking dish, and serve warm or allow to cool. Either way, sprinkle a little bit of extra brown sugar on top just before serving.

BAKED CARAMEL CUSTARD
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns to liquid and begins to caramelize. Pour into 6 custard cups, shaking cups to make sure the sugar is evenly distributed. Don't touch the sugar because it will be very hot.
- Mix the remaining ingredients together and pour into each custard cup. Fill a large baking pan with 1-inch of hot water. Place custard cups in the water bath and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until just set. Cool in the baking pan until they reach room temperature. Remove from water bath and chill. To serve, quickly turn each cup over onto an individual serving plate. The sugar will have turned into a delicious syrupy glaze. For an extra treat, serve with fruit and whipped cream.

BAKED CUSTARD
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.
