Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Beat together milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl until well combined; pour into a baking dish. Sprinkle with cereal; dot with butter. Gently set the baking dish into a larger baking dish. Pour enough hot water into the larger dish to reach at least 1 inch up the sides of the inner dish.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with nutmeg to serve.
