Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
Salt
1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (4 ounces)
5 large egg yolks, plus 1 large egg
2 cups heavy cream
Boiling water, for baking dish
Garnish: Crisped Prosciutto

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt until smooth. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, and add cheese. Whisk until smooth.
  • Whisk together egg yolks and egg in a medium bowl. Bring cream to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan. Gradually whisk hot cream into eggs. Whisk cream mixture into cheese mixture.
  • Divide custard evenly (about 1/4 cup each) among 16 eggcups or small ramekins. Place cups in a large baking dish or roasting pan. Add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of cups. Bake until set, about 25 minutes. Remove from water bath, and let cool. Garnish with crisped prosciutto.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my custard cups turned out curdled. I think I overcooked them.

This recipe was a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of custard, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The custards were light and fluffy, and the caramel sauce was delicious.

These custard cups were so easy to make and turned out perfectly! I used a muffin tin and they came out looking just like little Humpty Dumptys.
