I'm not a big fan of egg custard, but this recipe was pretty good. It was creamy and flavorful, and I liked the addition of the spices.

This egg custard is a great way to use up extra eggs. It's also a delicious and versatile dessert. I like to serve it with fresh fruit or berries.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my egg custard turned out watery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've tried a lot of egg custard recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's so creamy and smooth, and the flavor is perfect. I love that it's not too sweet, and the spices add a nice touch of warmth.

This egg custard was a hit! It was creamy, flavorful, and had a perfectly golden crust. It was easy to make too, and I didn't have any problems following the recipe. I'll definitely be making this again.
