Pastry for single-crust pie:

  • 1 cup cubed bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons butter

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  On a floured surface, roll dough to fit a 9″ pie plate.  Trim and flute edge.  Arrange bread in bottom of pie crust.  In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla; pour over bread.  Sprinkle with nutmeg and dot with butter.  Bake 10 minutes.  Reduce oven to 350 degrees.

Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes.  Cover the edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent over browning if necessary.  Cool on a wire rack for one hour.  Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
