This is the recipe that I have used for years. Works well, the eggs get cooked. I am not going to list all the stirs in they suggest. I add rum to taste and a dash of nutmeg. The recipe calls for milk but any combination of half and half, milk and cream works. Just depends on how rich you want it. Beat together: 6 eggs 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 tsp salt (op) Stir in 2 cups of milk and heat over low heat stirring constantly until mixture thickens and coats spoon. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 2 cups of milk. Add: 1 tsp vanilla Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Just before serving stir in rum and a pinch of nutmeg. Makes 12 1/2 cup servings.
