There is something quietly luxurious about a custard made with nothing but real, whole ingredients — whole milk, fresh egg yolks, a split vanilla bean, and a pinch of sea salt. No extract, no flavoring packets, no shortcuts: the vanilla flavor here comes entirely from steeping an actual bean in warm milk, which gives the custard a floral, complex depth that synthetic versions simply cannot replicate. The water bath bake keeps everything silky and gentle, coaxing the custard to that perfect slow-wobble set without any rubbery edges. Topping each cup with thinly sliced white peaches tossed in a little sugar lets the fruit do its own thing — softening slightly and releasing its natural juice into a light, fragrant syrup. White peaches are sweeter and more delicate than their yellow counterparts, and they pair beautifully with the cool, creamy custard underneath. This is the kind of dessert that looks like it came from a patisserie but comes together in your own kitchen with a handful of clean, recognizable ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Place four 6-oz ramekins in a deep baking dish large enough to hold them without touching.
Combine the milk, vanilla bean pod, and scraped seeds in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Warm until small bubbles appear around the edges and steam rises from the surface, about 5 minutes — do not boil. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes, then discard the pod.
