Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chili flakes for a spicy kick

How to Make Cheesy Egg Custard with Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, chicken broth, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into a greased baking dish or individual ramekins.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set and slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. While the custard is baking, prepare the savory sauce. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch over medium heat. Stir until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. Once the custard is done, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
  7. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Drizzle the savory sauce over the cheesy custard and garnish with chopped green onions. If desired, sprinkle with chili flakes for extra heat.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of milk or cream to the egg mixture.
  • Make sure not to overbake the custard; it should be set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
  • Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors—Gruyère or mozzarella can also work beautifully.

Easy Variations

  • Add cooked vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to the custard for a nutritious boost.
  • Swap out chicken broth for vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
  • Incorporate herbs like basil or parsley for added freshness.

What to Serve With It

  • Steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
  • A fresh garden salad for a refreshing side.
  • Grilled meats or tofu for extra protein.
  • Crispy bread for dipping into the custard and sauce.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes. You can also microwave it, but be cautious as the texture may change slightly.
