Ingredients
Scale
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
3 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk or half-and-half
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chopped rhubarb into the unbaked pie crust.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, flour, nutmeg (if using), salt, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the rhubarb in the pie crust.
Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Chill if desired before serving.
Notes
Use fresh rhubarb for best results, or thaw and drain frozen rhubarb thoroughly.
The pie may puff up while baking but will settle as it cools.
Delicious served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
