Instructions

For the filling:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Crack the eggs into a large bowl and stir until blended (I like to use a wire whisk). Then add the sugar and spices and stir again.

Notes

To get a perfect slice, make sure the pie is completely cooled or chilled. Score the top of the pie and cut through the filling and crust with a serrated knife. Wipe the knife clean between cuts. Use a pie spatula to serve that perfect slice.
