Ingredients
Ingredients for 6 servings
- 3 Eggs + 1 egg white
- 500 ml (2 cups) milk
- 250 ml (1 cup) sugar
- A pinch of nutmeg
- or a few drops of vanilla
- Pastry (pâte brisée) for a single crust pie
Method
- preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F);
- heat the milk in a saucepan; cool to lukewarm;
- in a bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and nutmeg; gradually whisk in the warm milk;
- roll out the pastry and line a pie plate; crimp the edges; brush with beaten egg white and bake for 2 minutes: this step is essential to seal the crust and prevent the pastry from becoming soggy once you add the liquid filling;
- remove from the oven; pour in the custard; bake for 15 minutes at 180° C (350° F); increase the temperature to 230° C (450° F) and continue baking until the center is set.
