Description

A creamy crustless pie featuring tangy rhubarb and soft custard, perfect for warm summer days.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups rhubarb, chopped
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk or half and half
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup flour (or gluten-free swap)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a pie dish well with butter or nonstick spray.
  3. Spread chopped rhubarb in the dish in an even layer.
  4. In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until smooth.
  5. Whisk in milk or half and half, vanilla, melted butter, flour, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Pour the custard mixture over the rhubarb.
  7. Bake until the center is set and does not jiggle, usually 45 to 55 minutes.
  8. Cool on the counter, then chill for cleaner slices.

Notes

For the best texture, drain very juicy rhubarb and chill the pie before slicing.
