Microwave Egg Custard for One (or two)

Egg Custard for One

Use a microwave-safe cereal or soup bowl. Crack one egg into it and beat with a fork. Add two tablespoons sugar and a tiny pinch of salt and stir well. Add 3/4 cup milk, a tiny pinch of nutmeg, and a few drops of vanilla. Stir very well, making sure the egg is incorporated. Put in the microwave for 15 minutes, power level 3. (Make sure not to cook this on high!) It should be set, with just a bit of jiggle in the middle. 

I tried this, and it worked well, but it was not sweet enough.

Next time, I doubled the recipe and added five tablespoons of sugar.  I had to cook it an extra five or six minutes, and it was very good, but had some "sweet water" floating around in the bottom.
