Ingredients
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
3 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is pale and smooth.
Gradually whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well-incorporated.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
Pour the custard mixture carefully into the prepared crust.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving to ensure the custard sets firmly.
Notes
Ensure eggs and milk are at room temperature to avoid curdling. The center should have a slight wobble when removed from the oven as it will firm up while cooling. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a deeper spice profile, consider adding a pinch of ground cloves or ginger.
