EGG CUSTARD PIE



Egg Custard Pie image

This homey, old-fashioned pie deserves a comeback not only because it's delicious, but also because it's so easy to pull off. The silky smooth custard (made with eggs and half-and-half) filling is baked until the top is set but the center is still slightly jiggly, for the perfect texture. Save time and use a store-bought refrigerated piecrust or use your favorite homemade pastry crust recipe.

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 (serving size: 1 slice)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 (14.1-oz.) pkg. refrigerated piecrusts
All-purpose flour, for work surface
Cooking spray
4 large eggs, beaten
2 cups half-and-half
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll piecrust into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Fit piecrust inside a 9-inch ceramic or glass pie dish lightly sprayed with cooking spray; crimp edges. Cut and fit a sheet of parchment paper inside piecrust; fill with pie weights. Transfer to a baking sheet; bake in preheated oven 10 minutes. Remove parchment paper and pie weights. Return piecrust to oven; bake 3 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk together eggs, half-and-half, sugar, salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of the nutmeg in a large liquid measuring cup. Pour mixture into cooled piecrust. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F, and continue baking until pie is golden, set around the edges, and slightly jiggly in the middle, 50 to 55 minutes, covering edges of piecrust with aluminum foil if needed to prevent overbrowning. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg. Chill until cold, about 1 hour.

GRANDMA'S EASY EGG CUSTARD PIE RECIPE...CIN



Grandma's Easy Egg Custard Pie Recipe...Cin image

My Grandmother used to make egg custard pies for me `cause they were my fav, and she loved them too.

Provided by Straws Kitchen(*o *)

Categories     Pies

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large eggs
2/3 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 c whole milk* (note below)
1 tsp pure vanilla
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Wisk all ingredients together, pour into a 9 1/2" deep dish pie plate lined with an unbaked pie pastry crust. Bake at 340 dF for approximately 1-hr 10-min or until set in the middle. Cover the pastry crust edges with a pie shield or foil after being in oven about 30 minutes; so it does not get tooo brown.
  • 2. *NOTE: I wanted to use sour milk instead so... I made 'sour milk' by adding 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice (can also use distilled white vinegar) in a 4-cup measuring vessel and adding the whole milk. Just gave it a stir and let set about 15 minutes to thicken and looked like it was begining to curdle.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs for a richer flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the eggs and milk are at room temperature before mixing them together. This will help to prevent curdling.
  • If you don't have a pie crust, you can use a store-bought one. Just be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
  • To prevent the pie from cracking, place a baking sheet on the oven rack below the pie before baking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help to set the custard and prevent it from running.

Conclusion:

This classic egg custard pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, custard filling and flaky crust, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this egg custard pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
