Preparation

Preparing the vanilla :

Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife.

  • Heat the milk:

    Pour the milk into a saucepan with the vanilla pods and seeds. Heat over low heat until simmering, then remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 10 minutes.

  • Mix eggs and sugar:

  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and a pinch of salt until smooth (but not too frothy).

  • Stir in milk

    Remove the pod from the milk and pour the hot milk gradually over the eggs, mixing gently.

  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes at 180°C, until a knife inserted in the center comes out dry.

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (fan assisted).

  • Pour the mixture into ramekins.

  • Cooking :
  • Place in a dish filled with hot water (bain-marie). Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. The cream should be set, but slightly wobbly in the center.

    Allow to cool Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
