Indulge in the creamy goodness of a classic Crust Custard Pie. This easy-to-make dessert features a rich custard filling nestled in a flaky pie crust, topped with a sprinkle of nutmeg.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Pie Crust:

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Custard Filling:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk

Additional:

  • Ground nutmeg for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges.
  2. Prepare Custard: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla until well combined. Slowly whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Fill Pie Crust: Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the top lightly with ground nutmeg.
  4. Bake: Carefully transfer the pie to the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use half-and-half or a mix of whole milk and cream.
  • If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil during baking.
