Pour the custard mixture into a medium-sized pot and place it over medium-low heat. Using a silicone spatula, stir the mixture continuously, scraping the bottom and sides of the pot, until it begins to thicken significantly. Once thickened, remove the pot from the heat and continue to stir vigorously until any clumps are gone and the custard is completely smooth. Transfer the hot custard into a circular kitchen container, cake pan, or similar dish. Cover the surface of the custard directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Once the custard has set, carefully remove it from its container. If using a cake pan, you may need to gently loosen the edges with a knife. Place the solid custard disc onto an air fryer rack. Using a sharp knife, cut the custard into desired slices (e.g., four wedge-shaped pieces). In a small bowl, beat the remaining 1 egg for the egg wash. Using a food-safe brush, generously egg wash the top and sides of each custard piece.
