Step 1
Crack eggs into a bowl, add milk, sugar, and vanilla, then whisk until smooth and no streaks of egg white remain.
Step 2
Pour the custard evenly into four 6-oz ramekins or small mugs.
Step 3
Arrange ramekins in a microwave-safe dish, then microwave on 50% power for 4–5 minutes until custard jiggles gently but surface no longer looks raw.
Step 4
Remove and let cool 1–2 minutes. The custard will continue to set as it rests.
Step 5
Serve warm with hot espresso alongside for dipping or sipping together.
