EGG CUSTARD PIE
This homey, old-fashioned pie deserves a comeback not only because it's delicious, but also because it's so easy to pull off. The silky smooth custard (made with eggs and half-and-half) filling is baked until the top is set but the center is still slightly jiggly, for the perfect texture. Save time and use a store-bought refrigerated piecrust or use your favorite homemade pastry crust recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll piecrust into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Fit piecrust inside a 9-inch ceramic or glass pie dish lightly sprayed with cooking spray; crimp edges. Cut and fit a sheet of parchment paper inside piecrust; fill with pie weights. Transfer to a baking sheet; bake in preheated oven 10 minutes. Remove parchment paper and pie weights. Return piecrust to oven; bake 3 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Whisk together eggs, half-and-half, sugar, salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of the nutmeg in a large liquid measuring cup. Pour mixture into cooled piecrust. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F, and continue baking until pie is golden, set around the edges, and slightly jiggly in the middle, 50 to 55 minutes, covering edges of piecrust with aluminum foil if needed to prevent overbrowning. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg. Chill until cold, about 1 hour.
MOM'S LEMON CUSTARD PIE
My mother often made this lemon pie back when we were growing up. You might say it's stood the test of time because today it's still my 75-year-old brother's favorite! The beaten egg whites give it a delicate texture and make this custard pie quite unique! It's a great way to finish off any meal. -Jeannie Fritson, Kearney, Nebraska

Steps:
- Add the flour, powdered sugar, and salt to the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until well combined. Add in the butter and pulse 5-7 times, or until the butter is broken down into tiny pebbles.
- With the motor running, add in the egg and let the dough process until it forms together into a cohesive ball around the blade, about 1 minute.
- Transfer the dough to a work surface dusted with flour.
- Roll out the pie dough to an 11″ circle and line a 9" pie plate, crimp the edges as desired.
- Transfer the dough to the freezer to chill while you preheat the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 375 and place a rack on the lower and a rack in the middle part of the oven.
- Line the pie dough with a parchment round piece of paper and then add pie weights (or dry rice or beans or lentils), making sure to push pie weights to the edges. Bake for 25 minutes on the lower rack, then remove the parchment and pie weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the bottom of the pie crust looks dry. Set aside until ready to use.
- Lower the heat to 325º.
- Whisk together the sugar, salt, eggs and yolks. Add in the milk, cream and vanilla and whisk to combine.
- Strain the mixture twice through a fine-mesh strainer, removing any coagulated bits of egg.
- Carefully pour the filling into the baked pie shell. Grate about ½ teaspoon nutmeg over the top of the pie.
- Bake on the middle rack for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard has set nearly all the way through, with a slight wobble in the middle. The pie should have a temperature of 180ºF.
- Remove the pie from the oven, and place it on a rack to cool. When it's completely cool, refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
- The pie can be baked up to 1 day ahead of time.

MOM'S CUSTARD PIE
We had this pie quite often when I was growing up. The first time my husband, then my boyfriend, came over to meet my parents, Mom decided to make this pie. She must have been a little flustered, because she forgot the sugar. She served him first and he started eating it without saying a word. Mom decided he was a keeper because he ate that awful pie so politely.
