Old-Fashioned Egg Custard Pie

A classic, silky-smooth egg custard pie with a hint of nutmeg, baked in a flaky crust for a comforting dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Gradually whisk in the warmed milk until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the custard mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Sprinkle the top evenly with ground nutmeg.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste.
