3 eggs
1 egg white
3/4 cup white sugar
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup shredded, sweet coconut
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Preheat oven to 400 F. Add milk to a saucepan and scald – DO NOT BOIL!! Brush pie crust with egg white; set aside. In a bowl, mix eggs, sugar, extract, salt- slowly add in the scalded milk and whisk. Pour custard into the un-baked pie shell, sprinkle in coconut, and then add a pinch of nutmeg to the crust. Bake in the center rack for 30-35 mins. Pie will be jiggly and not have any egg bubbles in the center. Allow pie to sit for at least 1-hour at room temperature. Place in fridge, and the serve once center is firm to the touch.
