Description

This classic Egg Pie offers a comforting balance of sweet and savory notes, perfect for a cozy afternoon treat or a simple dessert. The flaky, buttery crust cradles a rich, smooth custard made from eggs, milk, and a touch of sugar. Baked until just set with a slight jiggle in the center, it delivers a luxurious texture that melts in your mouth. Ideal for weekend baking or impressing guests with minimal effort, this recipe highlights the pure flavor of high-quality eggs. Serve it warm with a dash of nutmeg or cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
  3. Cut in the butter or margarine using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk and milk together until well blended.
  5. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 15x11-inch rectangle.
  7. Place the dough into an ungreased 13x9-inch pan, pressing it into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides.
  8. Whisk together the remaining filling ingredients (eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla) in a bowl until smooth.
  9. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the crust in the pan.
  10. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are golden brown.
  11. Allow to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
