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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

Step 5

Slowly add the warm milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.

Step 6

Place the prepared pie crust on a baking sheet for easier handling. Carefully pour the custard mixture into the pie crust.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. The custard will finish setting as it cools.

Step 9

Serve warm or chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
