Egg Using Recipes- Custard Pie

Custard is a very simple and easy pie to use up your eggs. Surprisingly, it only takes a few minutes to whip one up and get it in the oven!

Custard Pie

Crust:

2 1/4 c flour

1/2 t salt

1 1/2 T sugar

1/3 c oil

1/3 c milk or water (sometimes a little more if it is too dry)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix crust ingredients together with a fork and pat into the bottom of a 13x9 pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 mins.  

While it's baking, mix up the filling.  

Filling:

8 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 T vanilla

1/4 t salt

1/4 t nutmeg

4 c milk, light cream or half and half (I use raw milk for the creamiest results)

cinnamon, optional

In the bowl that you used to mix up the crust, beat eggs with a fork and then stir in all other ingredients.  

Leave the crust on the rack and pour in the filling.  Sprinkle on cinnamon, if desired.

Bake for 45 mins. 

We like it best when it's cooled.  Keep covered and refrigerated.

Optional:

Before pouring in the filling, spread a cup or two of frozen raspberries or blueberries on the partially baked pie crust.  Pour on filling and bake for 45 minutes.  Delicious!
