Old Fashioned Egg Custard Pie

 

When I think of Egg Custard, I think of pure comfort for the body and soul. The custard is smooth and silky with a wonderful fresh flavor and a hint of nutmeg. When I take my first bite of this pie, it takes me right back to my Grandmothers kitchen. It was always one of my favorites.

How To Make Old Fashioned

 Egg Custard Pie

Prepare a refrigerator pie crust in a 9inch pie plate. Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the crust. Then place the pie weights on top of the parchment paper. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and remove the parchment paper and pie weights. Return the pie crust to the oven and bake 3 more minutes. Remove the pie crust 

to a cooling rack and let cool for 20 minutes.

Whisk together the eggs, half and half, 

vanilla extract, sugar, salt and nutmeg. 

Pour the mixture into the

 cooled pie crust. Reduce the heat in the oven to 325 degrees. Bake the pie for 50 to 55 minutes until the pie is set around the edges and a bit jiggly in the middle. Remove the pie to a cooling rack and cool for at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with 

whipped topping and seasonal fruit.
