These fresh spinach and roasted-garlic custards offer a sophisticated twist on savoury starters. The combination of sweet, mellow roasted garlic and vibrant leafy greens creates a silky-smooth texture that feels incredibly indulgent yet light. By gently poaching the ramekins in a traditional bain-marie, the eggs transform into a delicate, melt-in-the-mouth savoury custard that looks striking on the plate with its bright emerald hue and simple olive oil garnish.
This vegetarian dish is an excellent choice for a dinner party as it can be prepared up to a day in advance and chilled. Whether served as an elegant first course or a light lunch alongside a crisp seasonal salad, these homemade custards provide a wonderful balance of earthy flavours and rich, creamy textures that your guests will certainly appreciate.

Ingredients for Fresh Spinach and Roasted-Garlic Custards
475ml double cream
2 cups (firmly packed) stemmed fresh spinach leaves (about 100g )
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

Extra-virgin olive oil (for garnish)
How to make Fresh Spinach and Roasted-Garlic Custards
Preheat oven to 163°C. Butter six 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups and place in 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Fill large bowl with ice and water. Bring cream to simmer in medium saucepan. Remove cream from heat. Add spinach, salt, and white pepper and stir until spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Place saucepan over ice water; stir to cool mixture quickly.
Pour cooled spinach mixture into blender; add eggs and roasted garlic . Blend until spinach is pureed and custard is smooth. Divide custard among prepared ramekins. Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins.
Bake custards until gently set in centre, turning pan after 30 minutes, about 55 minutes total. Do ahead Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool custards in water. Remove from water, cover, and chill. Rewarm custards 2 at a time, uncovered, about 1 minute in microwave at 50 percent power.
Cut around custards to loosen and turn out onto plates. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve.
