Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
  • 1 egg white (lightly beaten)
  • 3 whole eggs plus one egg yolk (beaten)
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups whole milk
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instruction

  • If using a frozen pie crust, allow it to thaw at room temperature according to its package directions.
  • Prick the crust all over with the tines of a fork.
  • Brush thoroughly with beaten egg white. This helps prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Set the crust aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, add the beaten eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Beat together.
  • Using a wire whisk, add the milk.
  • Place the prepared pie crust on a baking sheet.
  • Pour the egg and milk mixture into the pie crust filling baking cups with any excess mixture.
  • Sprinkle the top with nutmeg.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
  • May be served either cold or at room temperature.
