Quick Egg Custard Recipes

EGG CUSTARD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Beat together the eggs, vanilla and sugar with a wooden spoon until combined. Mix in the milk and cream and pour into a medium-sized dish. Finely grate over a generous grating of nutmeg.
• Half-fill a roasting tin with water to make a bain-marie. Place the dish in the tin so that the water comes about three-quarters of the way up the sides of the dish. Bake for 45-50 mins, or until just set with a slight wobble in the centre. Serve warm or leave to cool in the fridge overnight. Serve with poached fruit.

BLENDER EGG CUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. In a blender, combine all of the ingredients. Cover and process until well blended. Pour into a greased 9-in. pie plate. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 55-65 minutes. Serve warm or chilled. Refrigerate leftovers.

BASIC VANILLA CUSTARD

Steps:

• Have eggs ready in a bowl, and set aside where it will be within reach.
• Using a whisk, combine milk, sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan over medium heat on stovetop. Allow milk to scald (heat to the point when tiny bubbles form around edges of pan). Whisk occasionally to prevent cornstarch from clumping on bottom edges of pan.
• Remove milk mixture from heat, preferably to a burner that's turned off.
• Mix about 2 tablespoons of scalded milk mixture into eggs using whisk, then introduce eggs into milk mixture in a slow stream, whisking milk mixture constantly.
• Immediately return pan to heat and whisk gently until custard thickens, another two or three minutes. Do not allow to boil. (If you find that you have egg white strands in custard, feel free to pass it through a fine-mesh sieve into a different bowl now.)
• Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla.

QUICK EGG CUSTARD

Steps:

• Mix well: eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla.
• SLOWLY stir in scalded milk.
• Butter small baking pan (I'm sorry, I can't tell you exactly what size as I always triple this recipe for my large family).
• Pour mixture into pan.
• Dash nutmeg over top.
• Bake at 475F for 5 minutes; Then reduce heat to 425F and bake for 10 minutes longer, or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• If making a pie, pour into 9" pie shell. Let pie set.

EASY EGG CUSTARD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 300°F.
• 2. Place six 4-ounce ovenproof cups (you can use ramekins, or coffee cups marked as oven-safe) in a deep baking pan just large enough to hold them.
• 3. In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• 4. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolks, sugar, and vanilla.
• 5. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the simmering milk, whisking gently to combine.
• 6. Pour the mixture through a fine strainer into the cups (if the strainer clogs, use a spoon to scrape it clean), then sprinkle lightly with the nutmeg.
• 7. Pour hot (not boiling) water into the pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cups.
• 8. Bake until the custard is just set (it can still be a little loose), 30 to 35 minutes.
• 9. Let the custard cool in the water bath for about 2 hours before serving.

KETO CUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 (180 C). Grease 4 ramekins and place them in a oven dish. Set aside.
• In a bowl or a large jug, add the eggs, erythritol, vanilla, and stevia if added sweetness is desired. Whisk until combined.
• Add the heavy cream, and whisk well until the eggs are dissolved.
• Pour the mixture into the four ramekins. Pour boiling water in the oven dish surrounding the ramekins, until it covers about an inch from the top of your ramekins.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden and set around the edges, but a little wobbly in the center.
• Let it cool. You can serve it warm or cold. Garnish with your choice of fruits and/ or nuts.

BAKED CUSTARD RECIPE {EASY AMISH RECIPE}

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a medium-size bowl, beat the eggs on medium-low speed for 30 seconds.
• Add the sugar, salt and vanilla. Whisk gently until mixed.
• Pour the milk into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 1 minute increments until the temperature of the milk reaches 180 degrees.* Stir between each time interval to distribute the heat. Depending on the bowl and microwave you use, this will take about 5 minutes. Be sure not to let the milk boil.
• Remove 1 cup of the heated milk and slowly drizzle it into the egg mixture, whisking the eggs quickly the entire time.**
• Slowly pour the remainder of the milk over the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
• Beat with a hand mixer for 20-30 seconds.
• Pour the custard into 10 6-ounce ramekins, dividing the custard equally between the cups. There is no need to grease the ramekins.
• Place the ramekins in a 10x15" baking pan with sides about as tall as the ramekins.
• Sprinkle nutmeg overtop the custard.
• Heat about 10 cups of water, not quite to boiling but very hot, on the stovetop or in the microwave.
• Pour the hot water into the pan around the ramekins, being careful not to get any of the water into the custard itself.
• Carefully place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The exact time may depend on the size and shape of the ramekins you use. The custard is done when you insert a knife into the center of a cup and it comes out clean.
• Serve cold or warm as desired, with whipped cream.
• Refrigerate any leftovers.

EASY EGG CUSTARD TART RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Spray muffin tin(s) with nonstick spray.
• Sprinkle some flour on a clean working area, unwrap your pie dough, and place it flat on the floured surface.
• Add the milk to a small stockpot and warm until tiny bubbles form- do not bring it to a boil.
• Using a 3-4" diameter glass or (cookie cutter), cut out pie dough circles; repeat until they are all cut out. You will need to roll out "scraps" to make the rest.
• Add the dough circles to muffins tins and set aside.
• Separate one egg and save the egg white inside a bowl. Brush the egg white onto the edges of the dough.
• Crack the eggs into a large glass bowl, add the sugar, and vanilla extract.
• Using a hand blender, mix eggs until fluffy, slowly add in the milk and combine.
• Carefully fill each dough cup with mixture. You want to make sure you do not overfill the cups or the custard will caramelize, turn dark, and make them stick. TIP: Use an ice cream scoop on this step to make it easier.
• Once the dough cups are all filled (you will have extra batter for the remaining tarts), sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg to the top of each.
• Place them in the oven on the center rack. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
• Check doneness and remove if done. Depending on dough thickness, you might need to bake them for a few more minutes. Cook them for additional one-minute increments until fully set and golden brown.
• Once done, fill the remaining mixture (if applicable) into dough cups and repeat the baking process.
• Allow custard tarts to cool for at least 5 minutes inside the muffin tins before removing them. A plastic knife helps to pry them loose if needed.
