Get Well Custard

4 eggs

½ cup white sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 cups warm milk

ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Beat eggs with sugar, salt, and vanilla in a bowl. Slowly whisk warm milk into the egg mixture. Pour through a strainer into a 1 1/2-quart round baking dish. Sprinkle nutmeg over the mixture. Place the baking dish into a larger pan. Pour about 1 inch of water into the larger pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Chill to serve.
