Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the corners. Trim any excess dough and, if desired, brush with an egg wash for a golden finish.
2️⃣ Prepare the Custard
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Slowly add the milk, stirring until fully blended.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour with nutmeg (if using), then gradually incorporate it into the custard mixture, stirring to prevent lumps.
3️⃣ Fill the Pie Crust
Carefully pour the custard mixture into the pie crust, ensuring even distribution.
4️⃣ Bake to Perfection
Bake for 45–50 minutes until the edges turn golden and the center is set. To check doneness, insert a knife near the middle—if it comes out clean, the pie is ready.
5️⃣ Cool and Serve
Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. Serve at room temperature or chilled, topped with powdered sugar or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
