How to Make Microwave Baked Custard
- In a 2-cup microwave-safe mug, heat 2 cups of milk on high for 4-5 minutes, or until steaming. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a 1 1/2-quart microwave-safe casserole dish, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined and pale yellow.
- Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
- Cover the casserole dish with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
- Microwave on low power (30-50%) for 14-16 minutes, or until the custard is set and just slightly jiggly in the center. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave; start checking at 12 minutes.
- Carefully remove the plastic wrap, avoiding steam burns. Let the custard cool completely to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy! Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
