Ingredients
Scale
1 pre-made pie crust
3 large eggs
1 cup honey
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 pinch flaky sea salt
2 tablespoons extra honey (for drizzling)
1 cup toasted nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)
1 cup whipped cream (for serving)
1 cup vanilla ice cream (for serving)
1 cup fresh berries (for serving)
1 handful edible flowers (optional, for garnish)
1 handful fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the crust: Place the pre-made pie crust in a pie dish and poke a few holes in the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling while baking.
Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, salt, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Add heavy cream: Slowly mix in the heavy cream until everything is well combined.
Pour the mixture: Carefully pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
Bake the pie: Place the pie in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. The edges should be firm to the touch.
Cool it down: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before serving to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Add toppings: Before serving, drizzle extra honey on top, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and add toasted nuts for a satisfying crunch.
Serve: Pair each slice with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a handful of fresh berries. For an extra touch, consider garnishing with edible flowers or fresh herbs.
Notes
To enhance flavors, allow the pie to cool completely before slicing.
