linda's egg custard pie

Updated on Jun 16, 2021

Linda is my next door neighbor. When we moved into the neighborhood (East Tennessee), her husband would bring fresh eggs from his chickens, and I would return the gift with something I cooked from the eggs. He loves his wife's (Linda) pie. So much so, that he eats one whole pie at one sitting--all by himself. She makes one for us now and always delivers it hot out of the oven. She is a humble lady that say's, "It always puffs up so pretty and then falls after I take it out of the oven." It's sweet and yummy, and, I think a custard pie is supposed to fall.
