Ingredients
Soft butter, for greasing baking dish
2 extra-large eggs
1 extra-large egg yolk
2 cups whole-milk ricotta, drained
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 ½ teaspoons thyme leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 dried chile de arbol, thinly sliced on the diagonal
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9-inch baking dish. Whisk together the eggs, egg yolk and ricotta in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the cream, milk, 1 teaspoon thyme, salt and pepper. The mixture will be a little lumpy.
- Step 2
Pour into the baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the chile and remaining ½ teaspoon thyme. Cover the dish with foil and place it in a roasting pan. Add enough tepid water to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the custard is just set, about 1 ½ hours.
