ok an update from me.
The egg custatrd was awful. It came out looking nice but when I cut into it it was like scrambled eggs but all lumpy and runny. The dogs loved it though!
Wish me look for the next adventure. I think im going to need it

I've only just read this.

The the custard must have been over-cooked. When this happens the protein in the eggs tightens up and squeezes the fluid out, this is called syneresis. You sometimes see this in scrambled eggs that have been cooked for too long, the creamy egg mixture turns into blobbly eggy lumps and there is liquid released into the pan.

So just a little less heat or less cooking and it will be fine next time
