How to Prepare Baked Custard
Here you’ll find detailed images illustrating each step of the process. The complete recipe with all ingredients is provided below.
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Step 2: In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs and blend until smooth.
Step 3: Incorporate the evaporated milk.
Step 4: Use the now-empty evaporated milk can to measure water, and add it along with the sugar and vanilla.
Step 5: Blend until mixed thoroughly.
Step 6: Distribute the custard mixture into 8-9 ramekins, with about 2/3 cup for 8 servings or 1/2 cup for 9.
Step 7: Top each custard with your preferred amount of nutmeg.
Step 8: Place 6 ramekins in a 9×13-inch pan and the remaining 2-3 in a 9×9-inch baking dish, removing 1 ramekin from each pan.
Step 9: Add boiling water until it reaches about halfway up the ramekins.
Step 10: Add the final ramekin to each baking dish.
Step 11: Bake for 30-40 minutes for 9 ramekins, or about 45-55 minutes for 8. A sharp knife inserted in the center should come out clean; the custard should have a slight jiggle without appearing wet.
