  • ½ cup blueberries

Equipment

Directions
 

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Butter a 10-ounce ramekin and set it on a small rimmed baking sheet.

  3. In a second bowl, stir the melted butter and sugar together. Add the egg yolk, vanilla, and milk and stir until smooth.

  6. Let it cool in the ramekin for 10 minutes before eating.
