Equipment
- 1 9-inch pie pan
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 oven
- 1 set measuring cups and spoons
- 1 cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pie crust store-bought or homemade
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups eggnog
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg For added flavor, consider using freshly grated nutmeg.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- optional whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If using a homemade pie crust, roll it out and fit it into the 9-inch pie pan. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggnog, flour, nutmeg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the egg mixture. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are incorporated.
- Pour the eggnog mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a cooling rack for at least 1 hour.
- Once cooled, serve the pie chilled or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using freshly grated nutmeg instead of ground nutmeg.
This pie can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator for best results.
Ensure that the pie is completely set before removing it from the oven to avoid a runny filling.
