Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined, about 2-3 minutes.

Slowly add the whole milk and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, whisking continuously.

Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and whisk to incorporate.

Lightly grease a custard dish or individual ramekins.

Pour the custard mixture into the prepared dish or ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.

Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes, until the custard has set, jiggling slightly in the center.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Sprinkle some nutmeg or cinnamon on top before serving.
