Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Heat the cream and vanilla in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer.

Then pour the entire egg mixture into the saucepan; whisk briskly for 1 minute. Pour the mixture into ramekins. Arrange ramekins on a baking sheet.
