How to Make Custard Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until thick and pale yellow.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 1/2 cups low-fat milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gradually whisk this mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, ensuring no lumps remain.
  4. Gently pour the custard mixture into your prepared pastry shell (either homemade or store-bought). Sprinkle generously with freshly grated nutmeg.
  5. Bake at 200°C (392°F) for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 180°C (356°F) and continue baking for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the tart cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
