- 4 whole large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup prunes, pitted and halved
Instructions
- 1
Heat 1/2 cup sugar in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it melts and turns deep amber, about 4 minutes.
- 2
Pour the caramel into a shallow serving dish, tilting to coat the bottom and sides evenly. Set aside.
- 3
Whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth and well combined.
- 4
Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the dish. Place the dish in a larger pan filled with 1 inch of hot water (water bath).
- 5
Bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until the custard is just set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
- 6
Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled. Run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate.
- 7
Scatter the prunes over the top and serve cold.
