About Egg custard

Egg custard is a creamy dessert made from a simple mixture of eggs, milk, sugar, and often vanilla for added flavor. This classic dish has roots in European cuisine, though variations are found globally, such as the popular Chinese egg tart or French crème brûlée. Its silky texture is achieved by gently baking or steaming the mixture, allowing the eggs to thicken it naturally. Nutritionally, egg custard provides a source of protein and essential vitamins like B12 from the eggs, as well as calcium from the milk. However, it can be high in sugar and fat, especially if cream is used in place of milk. Opting for reduced-sugar recipes or using low-fat milk can make it a lighter choice. Egg custard is a delicious, versatile treat best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
