Slice of Egg Custard Pie

🥧 Ingredients

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2½ cups whole milk (warm, not hot)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg (plus extra for topping)
  • ¼ tsp salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare pie crust: Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp or trim edges as desired.
  3. Make custard filling:
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla, and nutmeg until well combined. Slowly whisk in the warm milk.
  4. Pour & bake:
    Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle a little extra nutmeg on top for flavor and decoration.
  5. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is just set (a slight jiggle is okay). If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
  6. Cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Enjoy your creamy, smooth slice of Egg Custard Pie chilled or at room temp with a dollop of whipped cream! Would you like a variation using coconut or nut crust?
