Baked egg custard is a simple dessert that is hard to mess up. If youre looking to try making a creme brulee, this recipe is a great place to start.

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Rinse the round pudding molds with cold water and place them in a deep baking dish. Bring 1.5 liters of water to a boil in a kettle.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to combine milk, eggs, vanilla, salt, and sugar until you get a smooth, light yellow mixture. Pour the mixture into the pudding molds. Sprinkle a little nutmeg on top.
Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven and pour enough hot water into the dish to reach two-thirds of the height of the pudding molds.
Bake the egg custard for 45-55 minutes, or until the custard is set. Test for doneness by inserting a thin knife into the custard - if it comes out clean, the custard is ready.
Remove the baked egg custard from the oven and let it cool slightly. Place the molds with the cooled custard in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
