Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin making your oven custard, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In my kitchen, I love to start by whisking together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is fluffy. It’s that beautiful pale-yellow color that really gets me excited! Next, I’ll stir in the vanilla extract, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. At this point, it’s already smelling heavenly, and I can hardly wait to add the milk. Slowly, I pour in the milk while continuously whisking, ensuring that everything is well mixed and smooth.
