4. Pour the custard into the unbaked pie crust.
5. Sprinkle the custard with the additional nutmeg.
6. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350° and bake for 35 minutes more, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean; watch the pie crust edges; cover to prevent overbrowning.
