• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

3 large eggs, beaten

¾ cup white sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon salt

2 ½ cups scalded milk

3 drops yellow food coloring

1 (9 inch) frozen pie crust, thawed

1 large egg white, beaten

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

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.
