Ingredients

• 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
• 3 Large eggs
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.5 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the unbaked pie crust on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk to the egg mixture, whisking continuously to combine.

Step 5

Stir in vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt until evenly distributed throughout the custard mixture.

Step 6

Pour the prepared custard filling into the unbaked pie crust. Take care to avoid overfilling.

Step 7

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and carefully transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake the pie for 40–45 minutes, or until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center when shaken. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before slicing.

Step 10

Serve the custard pie plain or with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
