Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the custard is set and a knife inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean.

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
