For a richer flavor, consider using heavy cream instead of milk in the white sauce. A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a subtle kick to the filling. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Parmesan, grated over the top before baking for added depth of flavor. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the hard-boiled egg: Place 1 egg in a saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then immediately remove from heat and let stand in hot water for 15 minutes. (20 minutes) Transfer the egg to an ice bath to cool. Peel and finely chop. Meanwhile, if using frozen corn, blanch it in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside to cool. (5 minutes)
03
StepSauté the onion: Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
04
StepMake the white sauce: Pour the milk into the saucepan with the onions. Whisk in the cornstarch until fully dissolved. Add the butter, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, until the butter has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. (7 minutes)
05
StepAssemble the pie: Stir in the chopped hard-boiled egg and the blanched corn into the white sauce. Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Brush the crust with the beaten egg wash to promote browning and add a touch of shine.
06
StepBake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set, about 25-30 minutes. (30 minutes)
07
StepCool and serve: Let the pie cool slightly before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set further and prevents burning your mouth!
