Old Fashioned Egg Custard Recipe image

A big thank you to Zoe who recommended I use her grandmother's egg custard recipe to use up a bunch of our fresh eggs. I don't know about you, but I LOVE, LOVE,LOVE using old recipes. Mainly because the ingredient list is simple, and I typically have all the ingredients on hand.

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups milk {I used 2%}
6 large eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees
  • 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.
  • Once the milk is hot, remove it from the stove top. Slowly add the milk into the eggs while whisking vigorously.
  • Once the milk and eggs are combined, stir in the vanilla.
  • 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.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes or until the custard has just set. Be careful not to over cook.
