Silky, cool, and perfumed with real vanilla bean, these custard cups are the kind of dessert that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. The base is nothing but whole milk, egg yolks, sugar, salt, and a split vanilla pod — no grains, no fillers, no thickeners — so it's naturally free of oats without any substitutions required. A gentle water bath in the oven coaxes the custard into that signature slow-wobble set, and chilling it down before serving makes every spoonful impossibly smooth and creamy. The topping is just as unfussy: thinly sliced white peaches tossed with a little sugar until they turn glossy and release their floral, honeyed juice. That bright, juicy fruit layered over the cold vanilla custard is a combination that tastes like peak summer in a ramekin. It's an elegant finish to any dinner, and because every ingredient is straightforward and whole, there's no label-reading anxiety involved — just beautiful, simple food.

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.
