Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla. Mix just enough to incorporate all the ingredients. Set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine milk and butter. Use a wire whisk and stir constantly until the milk begins to rise in the saucepan at a rapid boil - 5 to 8 minutes. NEVER stop stirring, or the milk will burn. Pour the hot mixture into the egg mixture, stirring as you pour.
- Line a 9 inch pan with dough. Pour custard mixture into crust. Protect the edges of crust with a ring of aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Filling will appear slightly jiggly. Allow to cool.

Tips:
- Fresh ingredients: Use high-quality, fresh eggs, milk, cream, and sugar for the best flavor and texture.
- Room temperature ingredients: Bring all of your ingredients to room temperature before you start baking. This will help them combine more easily and create a smoother custard.
- Don't overbeat: Avoid overbeating the eggs and sugar mixture. Overbeating can incorporate too much air into the mixture, which can cause the custard to become too fluffy and airy.
- Bake in a water bath: Place the custard-filled pie dish in a larger baking dish filled with hot water. This will help to create a moist and evenly cooked custard.
- Chill before serving: Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the custard to set and develop its full flavor.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Restaurant-Style Egg Custard Pie is a classic dessert that is sure to impress your family and friends. With its creamy, custard filling and flaky crust, this pie is perfect for any occasion. Follow these tips to make sure your pie turns out perfectly every time.
