REFRIGERATOR PIE



REFRIGERATOR PIE image

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
2 eggs
2 pinches kosher salt
Freshly grated nutmeg
For 1 Refrigerator Pie:
1 frozen 9-inch pie crust
Any one of the following combinations:
Cooked spinach, cheddar cheese, cubed cooked ham
Bacon, Sauteed leeks, and Gruyere cheese
Cooked spinach, canned artichoke hearts, and Parmesan cheese
Roasted chicken, goat cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes
Blanched asparagus and smoked salmon
Port Salut and Spam

Steps:

  • In a nonreactive, stainless steel bowl, combine the cream or half-and-half and the eggs. Whisk until combined thoroughly. Add the salt and the nutmeg. Whisk to combine. Refrigerator Pie Rules: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Evenly distribute the pie fillings in the pie crust. Do not overfill the crust with the filling ingredients. Do not pour too much royale into the crust. The eggs will expand upon cooking. Bake the pie until it is firm to the touch like set Jell-O, about 45 minutes. Cool the pie for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pie crust. You can use a pre-made pie crust or make your own. If you're using a pre-made crust, be sure to thaw it according to the package directions. If you're making your own crust, be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the pie will taste. If you can, use local and organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. The pie filling should be about 2/3 of the way full. If you overfill the crust, the pie will be difficult to assemble and the filling may spill over.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a flaky, golden brown crust. The ideal temperature for baking a pie is 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pie cool before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Refrigerator pies are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic dessert. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a refrigerator pie that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give one of these recipes a try.
