  TM 5
  
  If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
  For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
  
  Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Recipe's preparation

Place cream, thyme and garlic clove into mixing bowl.

Heat for 5 mins, 90 degrees "Counter-clockwise operation" speed 2.

Grease 6x1/2 cup ramekins with butter.

Set aside cream, by straining into pouring jug (removing thyme and garlic clove and discarding).

Wash and dry Thermomix bowl. Add cheeses and grate for 8 seconds on speed 9.

Add eggs, cayenne, mustard and salt to TM bowl and mix on speed 4 for 10 secs.

With blades spinning on speed 4 for 1 min, slowly add hot cream to cheese/egg mixture.

Pour mixture into ramekins.

Arrange ramekins into tray and dish of Varoma.

Rinse TM bowl, and fill with 500g cold water.

Put Varoma into place and steam for 22-25 mins, Varoma temp, speed 3.5.

Check if custards are cooked. They should have a slight wobble in the middle, without being too liquid. Let rest for 10 mins (they will continue to cook a little).

Garnish with a pinch of cayenne or paprika and some micro herbs. Serve with a slice of crusty baguette and a rocket, pear and walnut salad.Serve custards warm or cook ahead and serve cold.
