Time 1h15m

Yield 1 refrigerator pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
2 eggs
2 pinches kosher salt
Freshly grated nutmeg
1 frozen 9-inch pie crust
Cooked spinach, cheddar cheese, cubed cooked ham
Bacon, Sauteed leeks, and Gruyere cheese
Cooked spinach, canned artichoke hearts, and Parmesan cheese
Roasted chicken, goat cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes
Blanched asparagus and smoked salmon
Port Salut and Spam

Steps:

  • In a nonreactive, stainless steel bowl, combine the cream or half-and-half and the eggs. Whisk until combined thoroughly. Add the salt and the nutmeg. Whisk to combine.
  • Refrigerator Pie Rules: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Evenly distribute the pie fillings in the pie crust. Do not overfill the crust with the filling ingredients. Do not pour too much royale into the crust. The eggs will expand upon cooking. Bake the pie until it is firm to the touch like set Jell-O, about 45 minutes. Cool the pie for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

This pie was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some spices next time.

This pie was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of pie, but this one was surprisingly good. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and buttery.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
