Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 12 ounce Can evaporated Milk
- 12 ounces water
- 1/3-1/2 cup granulated sugar depending on desired sweetness
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Add the eggs to a blender or food processor, and blend just until smooth.
- Add the evaporated milk.
- Fill the now-empty evaporated milk can with water, and add the water, along with the sugar and vanilla.
- Blend just until combined.
- Divide the egg mixture between 8-9 6 ounce ramekins. There should be about 2/3 cup of egg mixture for 8 ramkeins or about 1/2 cup for 9 ramekins.
- Sprinkle the top of each custard with a generous sprinkle of nutmeg.
- Put 6 of the custard cups into a 9x13-inch pan and a 9x9-inch baking pan for the remaining 2-3 ramekins. Remove 1 ramekin from each baking dish.
- Pour enough boiling water that it comes up about half-way on the ramekin.
- Add the final ramekin to each baking pan.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes for 9 ramekins or about 45-55 for 8 ramekins. A thin knife inserted in the center should come out clean. The custard should slightly jiggle in the center but shouldn't look wet.

Notes
- Vanilla extract: You can increase the amount of vanilla to 2 teaspoons for more vanilla flavor.
- Nutmeg: If you would prefer, you can use ground cinnamon.
- Blending: You want to just blend the egg mixture into smooth. You're not whipping the mixture.
- Ramekins: I use 6 ounce ramekins. If you use smaller ramekins, you'll need more. If you use larger ramekins, you will need fewer. You will also need to adjust the baking time accordingly.
