Ingredients You’ll Need
*(Makes one 9-inch pie)*
For the Crust:
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
For the Custard Filling:
4 large eggs, room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ tsp salt
2 ½ cups whole milk, warmed slightly
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
¼ tsp ground nutmeg (plus extra for dusting)
1. Prep the Crust
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Fit pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimp edges, and chill for 15 minutes.
Optional: Blind bake for 10 minutes for extra crispness (poke holes with a fork to prevent puffing).
2. Make the Custard
In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and salt until smooth (no need for a mixer!).
Gradually whisk in warm milk and vanilla—go slowly to avoid bubbles.
3. Bake to Perfection
