What is Egg Custard?
A simple, baked egg custard is simply eggs, milk, salt and sweetener. It is the basic ingredients needed to make a keto quiche. When baked with a low temperature, in a water bath, the texture is silky smooth and goes down like butter! To make this egg custard keto friendly, we swapped milk with cream as well as swapped out white refined sugar with our favorite sugar free, low carb, keto sweetener. Enjoying this custard every day will fit perfectly into your low carb life because it is just 1 carb and just around 200 calories making this an easy treat to enjoy while still losing weight.
Tools to Make Egg Custard
Blender-Using a high powered blender will get this egg custard prepped quickly to bake. You could whisk by hand but using a blender will ensure everything is blended well, no lumps.
Ramekins-I used 6 ounce ramekins but you could also use a 8 inch square baking dish. The ramekins make it easier for serving and are perfectly portioned.
Baking Dish-I used a 9 by 13 glass baking dish to place the ramekins in, then added hot water to the baking dish about half way up the sides of the ramekins.
How to Store Egg Custard
You can enjoy these warm right out of the oven or chill them in the fridge to enjoy all week long. Allow to cool completely then place some plastic wrap or parchment over the top of each ramekin and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. I would not suggest freezing these as I'm not sure how well these will thaw out, but of course it could be done, but I think best if made fresh and just refrigerated.

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I need to eat more eggs and have been looking for a good egg custard recipe for diabetics. I made it last night and it was yummy! I substituted 2 cups of 2% organic milk for the heavy cream and almond milk. I used Swerve sweetener. I baked it 30 minutes then 15 minutes longer and it was perfect with a bit of brown crust on top! I sprinkled with a tiny bit of nutmeg. So good! Next time I might reduce the sweetener to 1/4 cup, as it was a little sweet for me!

Custard is normally cooked on the stove first until bubbles form around the edges and then baked. I am trying this recipe because I am lazy, but at the same time, I am skeptical that it will work. The comments are not encouraging here. Fingers crossed.

I baked it in an electric oven and metal pan for 35 minutes, turned off the oven and let it in there for 5 more minutes just in case. This set up perfectly, is brown on top, and I'm so glad! I'll have some Aldi black cherries on top like my German grandmother used to give me when I was a little girl. Thanks for this keeper!
Heather
I've cooked mine an hour and 20 minutes and still total liquid in the middles!! Taste great so I'm not complaining but not sure why with the cook time almost tripled they're still watery 🤷♀️
ann wallen
wondering if these could be changed a bit to turn into a pumpkin custard ??
Brenda
Maybe leave out an egg, add a small couple tablespoons of pumpkin puree, and dried pumpkin spice.
Roberta Wiebe
I wonder, to make this dairy free, could you add canned coconut milk instead of the whipping cream,thanks Brenda
Brenda
It's a good idea, if you try it let me know!
Chandra
Looks tasty! What would be the baking time for an 8x8 dish instead of the ramekins?
Heidi
Mine didn’t cook or set I put the back on the oven for a extra 10 minutes and they’re still liquify. Suggestions?
Brenda
Were they still a little jiggly? Were the tops brown? That should be still be fine, they won't be solid set and will firm up in the fridge.Also I have an electric oven and it tends to cook quicker than gas. Do you have a gas oven/
Flora
Please can you fix the regulating function for servings and ingredients? I only can change the ingredients, but it still shows 5 servings..... I have to try this recipe, but no matter if it shows 4 eggs oder 16 eggs to use - always 5 servings???
Thank you, I love your recipes
Brenda
That is most likely an issue with the recipe plug in. I'll ask if tech support can fix it.
Dawn
I wonder how this would translate to an Instant Pot, maybe using silicone ramekins, or maybe even the silicone egg molds?
Lynne
Thank you for sharing. Can this be made in a single baking dish? I don't have the individual cups
