Egg Custard Tart

Made 2/3 of this mix in my split pie tin; as it cooked alongside the Bakewell Tart I did pre-cook the custard in the microwave until it thickened slightly before adding on to the pastry. Then cooked both for 25 minutes.


·         1 unbaked pie shell
·         3 large eggs
·         1/2 cup of sugar
·         1/2 teaspoon of salt
·         1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
·         2-2/3 cups of milk
·         1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


1.       Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat your eggs slightly, then add sugar, salt, nutmeg, and milk. Beat well and pour into the unbaked pie shell. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. Sprinkle the top of pie with fresh ground nutmeg and serve.
