Old-Fashioned Custard Pie

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Prepare the filling

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Gradually add the milk and mix until smooth.

3. Assemble the pie

Place the pie crust in a baking dish. Pour the custard mixture into the crust carefully.

4. Add topping

Sprinkle a light layer of nutmeg on top for that classic flavor.

5. Bake

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

6. Cool and serve

Let the pie cool completely before slicing. This helps the custard set perfectly.
