- 3 large eggs

- Slowly add the hot milk mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly so as to not cook any of the eggs.
- Once completely incorporated, pour into six 6-ounce custard cups or ramekins. Place in a roasting or baking pan and put it in a 350°F oven. Pour boiling water into roasting/baking pan until ⅔ the way up the custard cups. This will ensure the custard bakes evenly.
