Classic creamy dessert pie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 unbaked pie shell (I use Marie Callendar's deep dish)
02 - 3 large eggs
03 - ½ cup of sugar
04 - ½ teaspoon of salt
05 - ½ teaspoon of nutmeg
06 - 2–2/3 cups of milk
07 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 - Beat the eggs slightly in a bowl. Add the sugar, salt, nutmeg, and milk. Beat well until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
03 - Pour the custard mixture into the unbaked pie shell.
04 - Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is slightly golden.
05 - Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool. Sprinkle fresh ground nutmeg over the top of the pie for added flavor, then slice and serve.

# Notes:

01 - If you prefer a smoother custard, you can strain the mixture before pouring it into the pie shell
02 - Serve this pie chilled or at room temperature for the best texture
03 - For added flair, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving
