Makes
4 servings
Serving size
½ cup
Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray
1 large egg
½ cup egg substitute
1 ½ cups fat-free (skim) milk
¼ cup plus 3 tablespoons honey, divided
½ teaspoon lemon zest, grated
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Spray 4 ovenproof custard cups with nonstick cooking spray.
- Prepare the water bath: Bring water to boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl combine the whole egg, egg substitute, milk, ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon of honey, grated lemon zest, and vanilla. Beat until mixed, but not foamy.
- In a separate bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of honey and cinnamon, and mix to blend well.
- Place the custard cups in a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate them plus the water bath. Spoon ½ tablespoon of honey and cinnamon into each custard cup. Divide the egg mixture equally into each custard cup.
- Place the baking dish on the middle rack in the oven and pour the boiling water into the baking dish to a depth of 1 inch, taking care not to let the water splash into the custard cups. Bake for 45 minutes or until a knife blade comes out clean when inserted.
- Serve warm or cold. Before serving, loosen the edges with a knife or spatula and invert onto individual dessert plates.
