Tips, food safety & substitutions
Nutrition figures are estimates only. Bake gently in a water bath so the custard stays soft, not rubbery. Allergens: egg, milk (milk, cheese, butter). Pakistani alternative: use any mild local cheese and desi ghee instead of butter. Serve warm and fresh; do not keep baked custard for the next day.
