Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whole milk
- Pinch of nutmeg (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Slowly whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
- Sprinkle a light pinch of nutmeg over the top of the filling.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the center is just set (a knife inserted near the edge comes out clean).
- Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a silkier texture, you can strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the crust.
- If the crust edges start browning too quickly, cover them loosely with aluminum foil during baking.
- This pie is excellent served slightly warm or chilled.
