Place cups in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan; add hot water to pan to a depth of 1 inch.
Bake at 325 for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Remove cups from pan. Cover and chill at least 4 hours.
Loosen edges of custards with a knife or rubber spatula.
Place a dessert plate, upside down, on top of each cup; invert onto plates.
Drizzle any remaining caramelized syrup over custards.
Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg, if desired.
