BAKED BROWN SUGAR CUSTARD

I doubled the following recipe to make four servings, but I did not have any vanilla or nutmeg.  I did stir in some cinnamon.  I served it with a dollop of strawberry preserves on top.  

Ingredients

• 1 egg

• 1 cup milk

• 3 tablespoons brown sugar

• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/8 teaspoon salt, optional

• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  
  

• Directions

  1. In a small bowl, beat the egg, milk, brown sugar, vanilla and salt if desired until blended. Pour into two ungreased 6-oz. custard cups. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
  2. Place cups in a 9-in. square baking pan. Fill pan with hot water to a depth of 1 in. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Yield: 2 servings.
