Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a baking dish by placing a kitchen towel at the bottom to prevent the custard cups from sliding.
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges. Do not let it boil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt until well combined and slightly thickened.
Gradually add the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Pour the custard mixture into oven-safe custard cups or ramekins, and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the custard cups to create a water bath.
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custards are set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the custards from the oven and let them cool at room temperature for a few minutes before transferring them to the refrigerator to chill completely.
Serve the custards chilled, optionally garnished with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of nutmeg.
