Preparation

Step 1

Line a 9" deep-dish pie plate with pastry; trim and flute edges. Line unpricked pastry with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450 degrees for 8 minutes Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Sprinkle coconut over crust; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sugar, flour, vanilla and salt. Pour over coconut; sprinkle with nutmeg.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers.
