Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Gradually stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture into a greased baking dish or individual ramekins.
- Place the baking dish in a larger pan filled with hot water (water bath) to ensure even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly at room temperature.
- Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the surface of the custard and caramelize it using a kitchen torch or under the broiler for a few minutes until golden brown.
- Let it cool before serving. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature!
Chef’s Tips
- Ensure not to over-bake; the custard should still have a slight jiggle in the center for the perfect texture.
- Using a water bath is crucial for even cooking and to prevent cracking.
- Experiment with flavored extracts, like almond or coconut, for a unique twist on the classic recipe.
