Classic Egg Custard Pie

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges as desired.

2. Prepare the Custard Filling:

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Slowly whisk in the warmed milk to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

3. Assemble the Pie:

Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Sprinkle a light layer of nutmeg over the top.

4. Bake the Pie:

Carefully place the pie in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly when gently shaken.
To prevent over-browning, cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil if needed.

5. Cool and Serve:

Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

This Classic Egg Custard Pie is a simple yet delicious dessert that brings warmth and nostalgia with every bite. With its creamy texture and delicate sweetness, it’s a perfect treat for any occasion. Serve it as is, or pair it with fresh berries and whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence!
