Source of Recipe

www.ichef.com


List of Ingredients

1 ready made pie crust, chilled
4 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk, scalded
1 cup light cream, scalded
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg



Recipe

Beat eggs slightly; then beat in remaining ingredients, except nutmeg. Pour into well-chilled pie crust with high fluted edges. Sprinkle nutmeg over the top. Bake in hot oven (400ºF) until knife inserted 1 inch from outside edge comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes (it will set more while it cools). (Don't bake over-long because it makes the crust soggy.) Cool on rack 30 minutes and then refrigerate until ready to serve.
