Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2.5 cups Whole milk
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out your 9-inch pie crust if making it from scratch, or use a store-bought crust. Place the crust into a pie dish and crimp the edges as desired.
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until it’s warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Slowly add the warm milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
Place the prepared pie crust on a baking sheet for easier handling. Carefully pour the custard mixture into the pie crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. The custard will finish setting as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
