Ingredients
  

  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a bowl, separate one egg white from egg yolk, but be sure to reserve both.
  • Beat your egg white and then brush crust with it. Pre-bake the crust for 7-8 minutes (I did 7 minutes).  Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 eggs plus the one spare yolk and whatever is left from the beaten egg white from the crust. Then add in sugar, salt, vanilla, cream and milk as well.
  • Pour egg mixture into piecrust and sprinkle with nutmeg.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Mine took the full 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.  Store in the fridge.
