Helpful Tips

  • Most baked custards have 2 or more eggs.  This custard uses 2% evaporated milk and 1 egg to create a slightly softer version.
  • This is a superb way to use up all the pumpkin you scooped out when making the jack-o’-lantern for Halloween.  The custard is rich in vitamin A and calcium and makes a good finish for a lighter meal.
