Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Pie Crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 cup Butter (melted)
- 1 cup Chopped Nuts (Pecans or Walnuts)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If using a homemade crust, roll it out, fit it into your pie dish, and pre-bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until combined.
- Add melted butter and mix well.
- Carefully pour the custard mixture into the pre-baked crust.
- Bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center. Let cool slightly.

- Drizzle the praline sauce over your cooled pie and serve.
