Instructions

Prep

1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and place four 6-ounce ramekins in a deep baking dish.
5 min
Using a baking dish with high sides makes the water bath easier to manage.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and egg yolks until the mixture is completely smooth and pale yellow.
5 min
Whisk gently to avoid creating too many air bubbles for a silkier texture.

Cook

3
Divide the yogurt mixture evenly among the ramekins. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
2 min
Be careful not to splash water into the custard!
4
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still have a slight jiggle.
40 min
Don't overbake, or the yogurt might curdle.
5
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.
2 hr
Proper chilling is key for that perfect spoonable consistency.
6
Just before serving, drizzle each custard with a half-tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt and lemon zest.
2 min
The salt really makes the honey flavor pop!

Chef's Notes

This is my Mediterranean-inspired take on a classic custard. The olive oil adds a sophisticated, peppery finish that balances the sweet honey perfectly. Make sure to use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor! If you want an extra crunch, a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts on top is divine.
