Savoury Baked Egg Custard
This is a great dish to make on a Sunday night - leftovers can easily be eaten for brekkie or lunchie (don’t you just love the Aussie ‘ie’ at the end of wordies?) over the next couple of days. It is lovely warm, but equally lovely cold so makes perfect picnic fare. Don't be afraid of the amount of cream you use … this proportion of eggs/cream makes a beautiful custard that is light and delicious. Really...or should that be Reallie?
