Silky Steamed Egg Custard

1. Combine the eggs, broth, and seasonings. Whisk together until the mixture becomes homogenous


2. Strain the mixture through the fine mesh strainer into two bowls. Fill the bowls up evenly three quarters of the way up

3. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This will prevent water droplets from hitting the surface of the custard and causing it to become uneven

4. If using a large wide pot, do not cover all the way. Leave the pot open about an inch. Steam on medium high heat for 18-20 minutes. The custard should be slightly jiggly but not fully set. Look for ripples in the custard that start from the center and move outward. There should be no splashing. You can always gently cut a slit into the custard to check before removing from the steamer.

5. Using tongs, remove the custard and let them cool slightly for a few minutes. This will allow them to finish setting. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
