Heat milk

In a saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling.

4
Temper eggs

Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Add vanilla

Stir in vanilla extract.

Strain mixture

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.

7
Pour into custard cups

Divide the mixture evenly among the custard cups.

8
Sprinkle nutmeg

Sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg over each custard.

9
Prepare water bath

Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the custard cups.

10
Bake custards

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Cool and serve

Remove the custards from the water bath and let cool to room temperature. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
