Prepare and bake pie shell; let cool completely.  Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9 inch pie plate. Beat eggs slightly; then add remaining ingredients and beat until well mixed. Pour into prepared pie plate; set plate in pan of cold water; bake 30-35 minutes or until silver knife inserted 1 inch from edge of filling comes out clean. The center may look a bit soft, but it will set as custard cools. When filling is completely cool, loosen from pie plate by carefully running a small spatula around edge and shaking plate gently. Holding custard just above far rim of pastry shell, carefully slip it into shell.
Makes 6-8 servings.
