What You'll Need

3/4 cup sugar, divided
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups milk

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
In a small nonstick skillet, stir 1/2 cup sugar over medium heat until completely melted and caramel-colored, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Immediately pour melted sugar into a 9-inch glass pie plate, coating bottom of plate. (Be careful when working with the heated sugar; it is very hot.)
In a medium bowl, beat eggs with vanilla.
In a small bowl, combine milk with remaining 1/4 cup sugar then beat into the egg mixture. Pour over caramelized sugar.
Place pie plate into a pan of hot water, with water going about halfway up sides of pie plate. Bake 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Let cool 20 minutes then cover and chill 1 hour, or until ready to serve. Right before serving, invert custard onto a 10" to 12" rimmed serving plate, so that the caramel sauce doesn't run off the plate.

Note

Be careful when inverting the pie plate. The best way is to place the serving plate upside down over the top of the pie pan and, holding the two together tightly, turn them over quickly. Then slowly remove the pie plate.
