To ensure a perfectly cooked pie, check it at the 45-minute mark for doneness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can bake the pie a day in advance. Allow it to cool completely before covering it with plastic wrap and refrigerating. Serving it chilled or at room temperature works well. Just remember to reheat if you prefer it warm.
What can I use instead of egg nog?
If you don't have egg nog, you can make a substitute by mixing equal parts milk and cream with a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon for a similar festive flavor. Alternatively, use any custard base or even a dairy-free egg nog for a vegan option.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when a butter knife inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. It should be set but may still have a slight jiggle in the center. Keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking.
