Ingredients
6 Servings
- 4 eggs
- 500 ml milk
- 150 grams sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 60 ml water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
In a saucepan, melt 100 grams of sugar over medium heat until it turns into a caramel. Carefully pour the caramel into a baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and the remaining 50 grams of sugar until well combined.
Step 4
Heat the milk in a saucepan until warm, then slowly pour it into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Step 5
Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.
Step 6
Place the baking dish in a larger dish filled with hot water to create a water bath.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the custard to cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the custard and invert onto a plate.
