🥧 Old-Fashioned Custard Pie

📝 Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

For the Custard Filling:

• 3 large eggs

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 2 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for richer custard)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

• Pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare crust:
   Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Flute edges if desired.

3. Make custard:
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until well combined.
   Stir in milk, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg.

4. Assemble pie:
   Pour custard mixture into the pie crust.

5. Bake:
   Bake for 45–55 minutes until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
   (A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.)

6. Cool:
   Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Refrigerate if serving later.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

• Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream.
