*TARTE AU OEUFS*

*EGG CUSTARD PIE*
My mom use to make this all the time when I was growing up.... and as soon as my brother Serge would see the pie, it was gone. Even to this day... it’s one of his favorite... pie. :)) Egg custard pie is a dessert pie, not a quiche. :))

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg white
2 1/2 cups scalded milk
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
Mix together eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Stir well. Blend in the scalded milk.
Line pie pan with pastry, and brush inside bottom and sides of shell with egg white to help prevent a soggy crust.
Pour custard mixture into piecrust. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean.
Cool on rack.
