1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare and roll out Pastry for Single-Crust Pie. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry. Trim; crimp edge as desired. Line pastry with a double thickness of foil. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 8 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 4 to 5 minutes more or until set and dry. Remove crust from oven; reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
2. Meanwhile, for filling, in a mixing bowl slightly beat eggs with a rotary beater or fork. Stir in sugar, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg. Gradually stir in half-and-half until mixture is thoroughly combined.
3. Place the partially baked pastry shell on the oven rack. Carefully pour filling into the pastry shell.
4. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie with foil. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm (cool on wire rack for 1 hour) or chilled (refrigerate within 2 hours). Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.
