1/3cupsugar
4eggs
1/2teaspoonground nutmeg
1/8teaspoonsalt
2 1/2cupseggnog
1teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. Place unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan, pressing the crust into the pan and crimping the edges around the rim. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), combine sugar, eggs, nutmeg, salt. Mix on medium-high speed until well-combined.
Add eggnog and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed to combine well.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 25 minutes, then cover loosely with foil and bake for another 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool to room temperature, which will allow the pie to set as it cools. Then transfer pie to the refrigerator for at least 6 hours before serving.
Notes
Feel free to lightly dust the top of the pie with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg as garnish, if desired. You can also serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Leftover pie should be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
