Baked Bread Pudding Pie

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pie dough into a 1/8-inch thick circle and transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the crust to 1/2 inch beyond the rim of the plate and flute the edge.

2. 2

   Arrange the cubed bread in the bottom of the prepared pie crust. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla. Pour the custard mixture over the bread, then sprinkle with the nutmeg and dot with the butter.

3. 3

   Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Bake for an additional 45-50 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover the edge of the crust loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning.

4. 4

   Remove the foil and allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
