Ingredients

  • Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
  • 1 cup flaked coconut, chopped
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2-2/3 cups 2% milk
  • 2/3 cup sugar

Step 1

Line a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate with pastry; trim and flute edges. Line unpricked pastry with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° 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° for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 8 servings.
