Description
A classic Old-fashioned Egg Custard Pie with creamy vanilla filling, a flaky crust, and a hint of nutmeg.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Dash of ground nutmeg
- 1 frozen unbaked pie crust (9-inch)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
- Sprinkle a dash of nutmeg evenly over the top.
- Carefully transfer the pie to the oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until the center is just set and slightly wobbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Chill for at least 2 hours for best results.
Notes
Don’t overbake—the center should jiggle slightly when you remove it from the oven.
Use whole milk for best creaminess and consistency.
A pie shield or foil can prevent the crust edges from over-browning.
