This custard recipe is a combination of a few different recipes I've tried. It's not too rich or too sweet as many egg custards can be. Can be served warm immediately or cold.

Gather all ingredients.

Cook and stir over medium heat until simmering; remove from heat before it comes to a boil.
4
Whisk eggs, sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl until sugar dissolves.

Set the saucepan back over low heat. Pour in egg mixture slowly, whisking constantly, until custard thickens enough to coat the bottom of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes.
