Pear Custard Pie

 

 

1 unbaked pie crust for 9" deep-dish pie

2 cups grated pears (about 3 pears)

3 eggs

3/4 cup white sugar

1 cup heavy whipping cream

3 Tbls. corn starch

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. dried rosemary

Preheat oven to 400 F.  Prepare the pie crust and place the pie pan on a baking sheet (for ease of handling and safety if it overflows).

Spread the grated pear evenly into the pie crust.

In a bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.

Bake for 10 minutes at 400 F. Reduce the temperature to 350 F and bake for 40 more minutes.

The custard will set up completely as it cools. Let cool completely before serving.
