FAQs

Can I use a different type of milk?

Yes, you can substitute whole milk with 2% or skim milk, though whole milk provides a creamier texture. Non-dairy milks like almond or soy can also work, but the flavor and texture may vary slightly.

Is it necessary to use a pie crust?

The pie crust holds the filling and adds a crisp base, but you could bake the mixture in a greased baking dish if you prefer a crustless version. Baking times might need slight adjustment in that case.
