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.
