Ingredients

  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 3/4 cups milk, heated
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 stick butter, melted

Instructions

  2. Pour mixture into a greased baking dish.
  3. Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes.
  4. Stir the pudding well after baking.
  5. Return to the oven and reduce temperature to 325°F.
  6. Bake for approximately 35 minutes more until set.

Tips & Substitutions

For a creamier texture, consider using half-and-half in place of milk. If you want to reduce sugar, try using a sugar substitute or applesauce for a healthier twist. Ensure the butter is melted but not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs when mixed. You can also add a touch of grated cheese for a savory variation, similar to American recipes that incorporate cheese.

Serving Suggestions

Serve warm as a comforting dessert or a side dish. It pairs beautifully with Tyresha'S Tangerine Punch for a refreshing contrast. For added flavor, consider a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. This dish is also delightful alongside savory dishes like Cheese-Topped Vegetable Supper.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pudding in a preheated oven at 325°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions for about 30-60 seconds, ensuring it doesn't dry out.
