Ingredients
3 eggs, plus 1 yolk, lightly beaten
1 vanilla pod, split lengthways and seeds scraped out or 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
60g caster sugar
215ml whole milk
215ml double cream
nutmeg, to grate
Direction
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.
