Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch shell Unbaked pie crust
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2.5 cups Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust in a pie pan and crimp the edges. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and smooth.
Slowly add the milk while continuing to whisk, ensuring the mixture is fully combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until evenly distributed.
Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust, filling it just below the rim.
Sprinkle the top of the custard lightly with ground nutmeg for a classic flavor and decorative touch.
Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the custard sets and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove the custard pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before serving. Optionally, refrigerate the pie for a firmer texture if desired.
