Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined and slightly thickened.
  3. Slowly pour the scalded milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Fold the cooled, cooked oatmeal into the custard mixture until evenly distributed.
  6. Butter six 2-cup ramekins lightly.
  7. Ladle the mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
  8. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  9. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  10. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool slightly.
  11. Serve warm or chilled, topped with fresh berries.
