Ingredients:
1 quart heavy cream
1 quart milk
6 eggs
6 egg yolks
1 vanilla bean
2 cups sugar
Preparation:
Mix cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla bean (cut in half).
Heat until frothy but not boiling.
Taste to ensure that it is sweet enough.
Cool in fridge.
Whip eggs and egg yolks.
Once cream is cooled enough, so eggs won't scramble, mix the eggs into cream.
Caramelize sugar and melt until smooth.
Move pan around until boiling.
Put caramel at the bottom and pour custard on top.
Bake 350C in a water bath until it doesn't move anymore.
