Tips & Tricks
-
Fluffy texture: Whisk eggs thoroughly, and avoid overbaking.
-
Water bath: Optional but gives a creamier, custard-like consistency.
-
Flavor variations: Add a tablespoon of lemon zest, a teaspoon of coffee, or a splash of rum/extract for a twist.
-
Topping: For a “caramelized” finish, sprinkle sugar and broil 1–2 min for a soft brûlée effect.
This dessert is comforting, simple, and elegant, perfect for family dinners or a sweet weeknight treat 😌
If you want, I can also give a “super fluffy individual ramekin version” that puffs up like a little milk soufflé—super cute for serving.
