Custard For Two

1 egg
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoons vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350°.

Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl and pour the mixture evenly into 2 ramekins or other oven safe bowls.

Place the ramekins in a tall-sided baking pan in the oven and pour hot water into the pan around the ramekins, to about halfway up.

Bake for about 35 minutes or until the center is just set. Allow to cool before serving.
