- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment.
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until just combined, about 30 seconds.
- Warm the milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until small bubbles form.
- Whisk the warm milk into the eggs gradually to temper them.
- Mix in sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, whisking until dissolved.
- Strain the custard mixture through a fine sieve into a clean bowl.
- Pour the strained custard into ramekins, filling them three-quarters full.
- Place the baking dish in the oven and add hot water to create a water bath.

- Allow the ramekins to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
- Garnish with ground nutmeg or desired toppings before serving.
