Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Place the unbaked pie crust in the pan, pressing the dough firmly against the sides.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, eggs, nutmeg, and vanilla until well combined.
  5. Slowly add the milk, whisking until smooth.

  7. Sprinkle the remaining nutmeg lightly over the custard.
  8. Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until set, covering edges with foil if they brown too much.
