Ingredients

8 servings

•

3 large eggs, beaten
•

0.75 cup white sugar
•

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•

0.25 teaspoon salt
•

2.5 cups scalded milk

•

3 drops yellow food coloring

1 (9 inch) frozen pie crust, thawed

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
Mix together eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl; stir well. Blend in scalded milk. Stir in 3 drops yellow food coloring for more color.
Brush the bottom and sides of pie crust with beaten egg white to help prevent a soggy crust. Pour custard mixture into pie crust. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
