Egg Pie
Description
This classic Egg Pie features a delicate balance of rich custard and airy meringue. The base consists of smooth, vanilla-infused egg yolks cooked to perfection, providing a creamy texture that contrasts beautifully with the crisp, torched meringue top made from stiffly beaten egg whites. It is a timeless dessert that feels elegant yet comforting. Perfect for afternoon tea or as a light finish to a dinner party, this pie highlights the natural sweetness of sugar and the subtle flavor of egg without heavy dairy. Simple ingredients come together to create a sophisticated treat that is surprisingly easy to assemble.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Prepare a pre-baked pie crust or tart shell and set aside.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg whites until frothy.
-
Gradually add the 6 tablespoons of sugar to the egg whites while beating continuously.
-
Beat the mixture on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form. This is your meringue.
-
If making the custard filling separately, pour the warm custard into the baked pie shell.
-
Spoon the meringue over the custard filling, spreading it to the edges to seal.
-
Use a spoon to create decorative peaks in the meringue.
-
Bake for 10-15 minutes until the meringue is golden brown on top.
-
Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to set the filling.
-
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
