Ingredients

2 cups milk
2 eggs, beaten
0.5 cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 dash vanilla extract
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and assemble all necessary ingredients for the recipe.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the mixture evenly into 6 individual custard cups, then sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg on top of each.
Place the prepared custard cups in a baking pan. Carefully pour hot water into the pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cups, creating a water bath.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until a knife inserted into the center of a custard comes out clean and the custards are firm. Allow the custards to cool completely before serving and enjoying.
