Egg Custard Pie is a classic and creamy dessert that features a smooth and luscious custard filling baked in a flaky pie crust. It's a simple yet delicious treat that's perfect for any occasion. Here's a traditional recipe to make Egg Custard Pie:

Ingredients:

• 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk
• Ground nutmeg, for sprinkling

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as desired.

2. 
   

3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. 
   

5. Gradually add the whole milk to the egg mixture, whisking continuously, until the filling is smooth and homogeneous.

7. Carefully pour the custard filling into the unbaked pie crust.

11. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until the custard is set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

13. Once the Egg Custard Pie is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

15. For the best flavor and texture, refrigerate the pie for a few hours or overnight before serving. Chilled custard pies are easier to slice and have a more developed flavor.
