Method
Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then let them cool slightly.
Combine the cooled scrambled eggs, milk, and vanilla protein powder in a blender.
Blend the mixture until completely smooth and creamy.
Transfer the custard to serving dishes and refrigerate until chilled and set, about 1–2 hours.
Just before serving, sprinkle a thin, even layer of white sugar over the top of each custard.
Using a kitchen blowtorch, caramelise the sugar until it turns golden brown and forms a crisp crust.
Allow the caramelised topping to cool for about one minute, then break through the crust and enjoy.
