Creamy Custard Eggs with Cornstarch Butter Sauce

Ingredients

- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and a small amount of the milk to create a smooth slurry. Gradually add the remaining milk while stirring to prevent lumps.

2. Whisk the Eggs:
- Crack the 4 eggs into a separate bowl. Whisk them thoroughly until combined, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Cook the Custard Base:
- Place a medium saucepan on the stove over low heat. Add the milk and cornstarch mixture to the pan. Cook while continuously stirring to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom. Once it thickens slightly, about 7 minutes (PT7M), remove it from heat.

4. Incorporate Eggs into the Custard:
- Slowly pour the whisked eggs into the saucepan with the custard base, stirring constantly to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely. Return the pan to low heat.

5. Create the Cornstarch Butter Sauce:
- In a separate small pan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, add a pinch of cornstarch to the butter, whisking quickly to incorporate. This will create a silky, thick sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes (PT3M) until slightly thickened.

6. Combine and Finish Cooking:
- Gradually add the butter sauce to the egg custard over the stove, stirring continuously. Cook for an additional 5 minutes (PT5M) until the mixture is creamy and reaches your desired consistency.

7. Season and Serve:
- Take the pan off the heat. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve hot by dividing the creamy custard eggs onto plates and garnish with a spoonful of the cornstarch butter sauce.
