In large bowl whisk together 3 eggs plus the one spare yolk and whatever is left from the beaten egg white , sugar, salt, vanilla, cream and milk.
Pour egg mixture into piecrust and sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack. Store in refrigerator

If available use fresh ground nutmeg because it so full of flavor
I pour the egg mixture into the pie crust very carefully right there in the oven while the piecrust is on the rack.
Do not over-bake. The pie should still be somewhat giggly.
This pie tastes and cuts best when chilled.
