Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups milk
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut into small pieces
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup wheat and barley nugget cereal (e.g. Grape-Nuts™)

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.
