For an extra touch of elegance, brush the baked pie crust with a lightly beaten egg wash before filling. This will give it a beautiful golden sheen. If the crust edges begin to brown too quickly during baking, cover them with strips of aluminum foil. To prevent the crust from puffing up during baking, prick the bottom of the crust several times with a fork before filling. For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also infuse the milk with vanilla bean by simmering the milk and vanilla bean together before mixing with other ingredients; remove vanilla bean before mixing with other ingredients

Jun 11, 2025I found that reducing the sugar by a tablespoon made it just the right amount of sweetness for my taste. Otherwise, the recipe is perfect as is!

Nov 28, 2023I've tried many custard pie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The nutmeg adds a lovely warmth, and the custard sets perfectly. Thank you for sharing!
