Parmesan Custard

This is one of my favorite things from Nourishing Traditions.  This is a savory custard, and is especially delicious as a side dish to meat and veggies.

Recipe:

4 Egg Yolks
1 1/2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
Cayenne pepper or paprika

Whisk egg yolks and gradually add whipping cream.  Stir in parmesan cheese and pour custard into individual ramekins (4-6).  Sprinkle with cayenne or paprika.
Bake at 350° for 45 minutes.  Cool 5 minutes before serving.

It's so creamy and cheesy!

This one is actually made with Romano instead of Parmesan.  You really need to use a cheese that's hard and aged, so it isn't greasy when it's melted (I once tried it with cheddar and it didn't turn out well).
