Custard Pie

Posted byNoriePosted inRecipe, Snacks, Sweets

Pre-heat oven to 425°F.

1 – 9” deep dish frozen pastry pie shell, wiped with 1 tbs. softened butter around the sides and bottom.

Whip or beat together:

  • 3 eggs
  • 2 ½ cups milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg

Place a cookie sheet on the oven rack you are going to use.  Place the empty pie shell on the cookie sheet and pour the egg mixture in the pie shell then carefully push the rack in place. 

There will be spills as you push the rack.  That is the reason for putting the pie shell on a cookie sheet.  It would also spill worse if you filled the shell first then placed it in the oven.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes if you used cold milk and eggs.  It is done when a knife inserted about 1 inch from the edge comes out clean. 

If the ingredients are of room temperature, bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
