Ingredients
- 250 ml milk
- 275 g double cream
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 8 egg yolks
- 50 ml strong vegetable broth
- brown sugar (for sprinkling)
- rosemary
- thyme
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 100 degrees Celsius using the top and bottom heat setting.
- 2. Heat the milk, heavy cream, and roughly chopped herbs in a pot. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for about 10 minutes.
- 3. Whisk the egg yolks with the warm herb liquid until creamy but not foamy. Gradually stir in the hot herb-cream mixture. Strain the custard through a fine sieve into the individual ramekins.
- 4. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish or roasting pan. Pour hot water into the dish until the ramekins are two-thirds submerged in the water. Bake the custard for about one hour, or 10 to 15 minutes longer if needed, until set.
- 5. Remove the ramekins from the water bath, let them cool slightly, and then refrigerate until completely cold.
- 6. Before serving, sprinkle brown sugar over the cold custard. Place under the hot grill briefly until the sugar caramelizes, or use a kitchen torch to caramelize the surface.
- 7. Garnish the finished custard with fresh herbs and serve.
