Savoury Custards
Not all custards are sweet. A quiche is a savoury custard tart. Some kinds of timbale or vegetable loaf are made of a custard base mixed with chopped savoury ingredients. Custard royale is a thick custard cut into decorative shapes and used to garnish soup, stew or broth. Chawanmushi is a Japanese savoury custard, cooked and served in a small bowl or on a saucer.
Custard may also be used as a top layer in gratins, such as the South African bobotie and many Balkan versions of moussaka.
