Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  2. Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate, crimping the edges decoratively.
  3. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the eggs and whisk until fully dissolved.
  6. Pour in 2 cups of whole milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing gently to combine.
  7. Stir in a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of butter for extra richness.
  8. Carefully pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325ðF (160ðC).
  10. Continue baking for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  12. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with fresh berries or a dusting of cinnamon if desired.
