I didn't have a premade pie shell, and I was in no mood to bake one for reasons I won't whine about here. But craving something sweet, I took a huge shortcut and got out some phyllo dough that was up in the freezer and made a square "pie."
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 2 TB butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- one 10-inch basic pie shell
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
- In mixing bolw combine the sugar butter, and salt and beat until smooth.
- Add the eggs and mix until well blended.
- Add the milk and vanilla and beat until smooth.
- Turn the mixture into the pie shell and bake 15 minutes.
- Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake till the pie begins to set around the edges and the middles is still jiggly, 12 to 15 minutes longer.
- Let the pie cook, then chill slightly.
that sounds good! I think I would like it even better with some fruit of some sort put over the top like we do with cheese cake like those giant strawberries we saw yesterday when we were shopping!
