How to Make Vanilla Custard Cups Baked

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup whole milk until well combined and the sugars are dissolved.
  3. Pour the custard mixture evenly into two ungreased 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups.
  4. Sprinkle a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg over each custard cup (optional).
  5. Place the ramekins in a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  6. Carefully pour hot water into the baking pan until it reaches about 1 inch up the sides of the ramekins (this creates a bain-marie for even cooking).
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of a custard cup comes out clean. The custards should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Carefully remove the ramekins from the baking pan and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled!
