Ingredients
1 pie crust (9-inch), store-bought or homemade
3 large eggs
1½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups rhubarb, sliced into ½-inch pieces
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs until well combined.
Add the sugar, flour, and nutmeg to the beaten eggs and mix until well blended.
Gently fold the sliced rhubarb into the egg mixture until evenly distributed, being careful not to break the rhubarb pieces.
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
Pour the rhubarb custard mixture into the crust-lined pie dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until the pie crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before slicing and serving.
Comments
Rhubarb is widely available at Charlotte-area Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, and Walmart spring through early summer, and the other ingredients—eggs, sugar, flour, nutmeg, pie crust—are staples everywhere. The stated 150 minutes is honest if you're making crust from scratch, but most home cooks will use store-bought, bringing real time to under two hours. Cost per serving lands around $1.50–$2.00, driven by the rhubarb itself; this is a dessert that rewards the season and punishes off-season shopping. It's a forgiving, no-fuss dish that reheats well and suits a family or potluck, though rhubarb cream pie is decidedly not a weeknight meal—it's a weekend project or make-ahead dessert.
