Ingredients

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 large eggs
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk, warmed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp salt

3. 3Whisk the filling ingredients together in a large bowl until smooth.
4. 4Pour the filling into the crust.
5. 5Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the edges are set and the center jiggles only slightly when the pan is nudged.
6. 6Cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate at least 2 hours before slicing.
