This started out as an "I DID IT" for Egg custard pies. And as usual the recipes grew to include Quiche. So I changed the name.

I actually made my very first edible pies yesterday.
Every pie I ever tried to make ended up in the garbage can. For someone who bakes their own bread, bisquits, cakes and cobblers this has always been my weak spot and a very frustrating one.
But I have all these eggs (almost 2 doz a day) that I can't seem to sell more than a couple of doz a week.
These pies were gone before I could get around to taking any pics but they turned out perfect. I will admit I did not brave making my own pie crust for this effort.
Recipe found on All Recipes: Grandma's Egg Custard Pie
1 - 9" pie crust
3 - eggs, beaten
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 - teaspoon vanill extract
1 egg white
2 1/2 cup scalded milk
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 400
Mix eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla. Stir well. Blend in scalded milk.
Brush pie crust with egg white
Bake for 30 to 35 min or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
(Makes 1 pie)
I made a couple of modifications to the above recipe. I used a half can of sweetened condensed milk and then added enough milk to make my 2 1/2 cups. I made sure they were mixed well before I started heating the milk. I did not bring the milk to a complete scald. I just heated it up.
I did not double the recipe for 2 pies - being on my first attempt in so long I was afraid to. I just mixed up two seperate batches. Next time I will double the recipe I think.
