Description
An easy baked vanilla custard recipe that I made in honor of Dad.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 cups milk (I recommend using whole milk)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Ground Nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 13×9″ baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together eggs, sugar and salt. Add half of milk and vanilla, combine well with eggs/sugar mixture, make sure sugar is dissolved. Stir in the rest of the milk. After fully blended, pour into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle top with ground nutmeg, if desired.
- Bake in oven for 60 minutes or until knife inserted in middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Place in refrigerator and chill completely. Cut into squares to serve and enjoy.
Notes
-I altered the original recipe slightly by increasing the vanilla extract and adding the salt. I also rewrote the instructions.
–I’ve called this recipe easy as it doesn’t require heating or scalding of milk and you don’t have to temper the eggs with the milk. It’s a simple mixing of the ingredients and baking in the oven.
