• 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup honey granules or sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups hot whole milk or half-and-half

I actually made this delicious pie quite a while ago. But, since I made it right before VeganMoFo, I haven’t had a chance to share it yet. We discovered on a recent trip to a buffet that the kids go crazy over custard pie. And, since we were headed on a trip soon after and needed to use up some eggs, I tried my hand at a homemade version.

I decided to try one from my Betty Crocker cookbook first. It seemed super simple and tastily-flavored. Use your own pie crust recipe, or store-bought if you like. The filling is crazy fast to throw together and mildly flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg. Yum.

Hope you all made it through Sandy safely, welcome back! I’ll be sharing a delicious CrockPot Pumpkin Cheesecake tomorrow. So come on back. :)

Custard Pie

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 8 servings

Custard Pie

Ingredients

3 eggs
3/4 cup honey granules or sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups hot whole milk or half-and-half

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425. Warm pie plate lined with crust for 10 minutes.

Reduce heat to 400.

In medium bowl, beat eggs slightly with wire whisk. Add honey granules, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, the nutmeg and vanilla; mix well. Gradually blend in hot milk. Pour filling into a pie plate lined with crust. You may want to pour it with the pan in the oven to prevent sloshing.

Cover the edge of pie crust with pie crust shield or foil; remove shield or foil during last 15 minutes of baking. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean. Cool on cooling rack 1 hour. Serve slightly warm or cold.

The Results

Delicious! And the kids loved it. A definite repeat for pre-trip egg use and just whenever we’re craving pie. It tastes a lot like pumpkin pie, without the pumpkin. Fabulous.
