Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups milk (whole milk for creaminess)
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place your pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. If using a frozen crust, let it thaw while you prepare the filling.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt until well combined and smooth.
  4. Carefully pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  7. Enjoy warm or chilled, with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of additional nutmeg.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for best mixing. To avoid a soggy crust, pre-bake for 10 minutes. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
