Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300° F. Place six 4-oz. ramekins in a deep baking pan, large enough to hold them with space in between each ramekin.

Step 2

In a heavy-bottomed pot, bring the milk to a simmer on medium-low and then remove from heat.

Step 3

Place the eggs, yolks, sugar, salt, vanilla seeds, and pods in a separate bowl and mix well.

Step 4

Add a little bit of the milk to the eggs and whisk to warm the eggs up and then add everything back to the pot and whisk to combine.

Step 5

Let vanilla steep in the milk for about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Strain the mixture into a clean bowl and add the orange zest.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the cups and place the pan on a rack in the middle of the oven.

Step 8

Pour hot (not boiling) water into the pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cups.

Step 9

Bake until the custards are just set (they will still be a little loose in the center), 30 to 35 minutes.

Step 10

Let the custards cool in the water bath for about 2 hours and then serve at room temperature or chilled.
