This Old Fashioned Egg Custard Pie is a classic, creamy, and comforting dessert that brings back nostalgic flavors of homemade goodness. With a delicate custard filling and a lightly spiced nutmeg topping, this pie is perfect for family gatherings, holidays, or simply indulging in a timeless treat.

Ingredients

• For the Pie Crust:
• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• For the Custard Filling:
• 3 large eggs
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups whole milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (plus extra for garnish)

Preparation Method

Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until smooth. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until well combined.

Pour the custard mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Lightly sprinkle the top with ground nutmeg for added flavor and aroma.

Place the pie in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly wobbly. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.

Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. Serve at room temperature or chilled for a refreshing treat.
