Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 halves Canned apricot halves (in juice)
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Grease two microwave-safe ramekins or small bowls with the butter to prevent sticking.
Drain the canned apricot halves and place two halves at the bottom of each ramekin.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
Evenly divide the egg mixture between the two ramekins, pouring it gently over the apricots.
Sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg on top of each custard for a hint of warming spice.
Place one ramekin at a time in the microwave and cook on medium power (50%) for 2-3 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Check after 2 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Carefully remove the ramekin from the microwave (it will be hot). Repeat the same process with the second ramekin.
Allow the custards to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, or refrigerate for 1-2 hours and serve chilled for a firmer texture.
