Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 prepared flaky, buttery pie crust
Filling
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup high-quality floral honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust evenly into your pie dish. Prick the base with a fork to avoid bubbles, then blind bake for about 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, salt, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Slowly add the heavy cream and melted butter, mixing until smooth and creamy without lumps.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the silky filling into the baked crust. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still jiggles slightly in the center.
- Cool and Chill: Let the pie cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 3 hours to fully set and develop its rich flavor.
Notes
- Use room-temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and smooth texture.
- Choose unpasteurized, fragrant honey for best flavor impact.
- Do not overbake; a slight jiggle in the center ensures a creamy filling once cooled.
- Blind bake the crust to prevent sogginess and keep it crisp.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top after baking for an extra salty crunch.
