Baked Egg Custard

  1 egg white
  4 eggs
  1/2 C. sugar
  1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  3 C. of milk
  nutmeg or allspice to taste
   
    Preheat oven to 350 F. Oil a 1 1/2 qt baking dish and set it in a shallow pan. Heat milk and sugar over medium low heat until sugar is disolved, stirring constantly. Beat eggs and egg white until frothy. With mixer on medium speed, very slowly add milk mixture to eggs, so the hot milk will not cook your eggs. Add vanilla, pour into baking dish, and sprinkle with your choice of spice. Pour hot water into the shallow pan and carefully transfer this to the oven. Bake for about 35 minutes or until custard is set in the center.
