Ingredients:

1 (9-inch) UN-baked pie crust

3 eggs (beaten)

3/4 cup white sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 additional egg white (use to brush pie crust with)

2 and 1/2 cups scaled milk (cool slightly)

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg  *optional

* optional help: scald milk until you starts to see bubbles around the edge of pot. 

Directions:

Brush bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie crust with egg white to prevent pie crust from being soggy.  Set aside.

Mix together eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla and mix well.  Slowly add scalded milk a little at a time, mixing well with a wire wisk.  

Pour custard into pie crust, sprinkle with nutmeg and bake at 400F for 40-50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. 

*If pie crust edges start to brown too much, cover with foil or pie crust cover.

Cool on wire rack.
