INGREDIENTS
2 large Eggs (approx 100g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (approx 120g)
1/2 cup Skim Milk (approx 120g)
1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (base) (approx 50g)
2 tbsp Granulated Sugar (top) (approx 25g)
1 tsp Vanilla Bean (or Extract) (approx 2g)
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, nonfat Greek yogurt, and skim milk until fully combined and smooth.
Stir in the granulated sugar (1/4 cup), vanilla bean (or extract), and a pinch of salt until the sugar begins to dissolve.
Pour the custard mixture into a small, ovenproof ramekin or custard dish.
Place the custard dish in a baking pan and add hot water until it reaches about halfway up the side of the dish to create a water bath.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the dish from the water bath and cool slightly.
Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar evenly over the top of the custard.
Use a kitchen torch to carefully caramelize the sugar until it melts and forms a crisp, golden top. Alternatively, place under a broiler for 2-3 minutes watching closely to avoid burning.
Allow the custard to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the caramelized sugar harden.
