Ingredients

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Whisk eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  3. Pour the custard into the unbaked pie crust.
  4. Sprinkle nutmeg evenly over the top.
  5. Bake 40–50 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle.
  6. Cool completely before slicing.

Tip: Don’t overbake—the custard will continue setting as it cools.
