Ingredients

3 large eggs, beaten
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
2 ½ cups scalded milk
3 drops yellow food coloring (Optional)
1 (9 inch) frozen pie crust, thawed
1 large egg white, beaten
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
Mix together eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl; stir well. Blend in scalded milk. Stir in 3 drops yellow food coloring for more color.
Brush the bottom and sides of pie crust with beaten egg white to help prevent a soggy crust. Pour custard mixture into pie crust. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
