This is a little delight perfect for a Fall weekend that you should try. It’s almost ridiculously easy and takes just a few ingredients. If you want to jazz it up you can add a bit of Vanilla or Almond extract to the egg mixture.
Carrie’s Uber Easy Baked Custard
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of organic milk
- 2 large cage free eggs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Dash ground cinnamon
- Dash ground nutmeg
Method:
- Place milk, eggs, sugar and salt in a medium bowl and whisk until frothy (about a minute). Pour into four medium sized custard cups; sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Place cups in a baking pan that will accommodate them easily and pour hot water into the pan so that it covers about an inch up the sides of the custard cups.
- Place on middle rack and bake in preheated 350° oven for about 45 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Fabulous warm or chilled.

Yummy! This looks so good!
I’ve never baked a custard before – if I overbake it, will it ruin the texture?

I think if you overbake it would make it a bit hard – be sure that the water doesn’t evaporate and keep an eye on it – it will be great!
This looks like a great treat when you don’t want to go all out, but want to make a little something. Love the idea!
I am totally making this for dessert tonight – easy and delicious – and did I mention easy? – is right up my alley!
