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.
