Keep in mind, custard pies need to breathe in order to bake. They are typically topped with meringue which allows them to bake uncovered, uses up the egg whites leftover from the custard, and gives them a decorative finish. If you do put crust on top, make sure it doesn’t cover the entire top and allow for extra baking time. You might want to bake the top crust separately and just place in one after the pie is baked as the top crust won’t brown as well, either. Still not done - could need up to fifteen minutes more.
It’s bubbling still which means the chemical reaction necessary to thicken the juices is still happening. Cutting into your pie now will result in a dry and runny pie. Give it an hour to set before cutting and you’ll have a moist, slightly runny pie that holds together when you pull your slices out. I know it’s hard but even tomorrow’s breakfast pie will be tastier if you can just restrain yourself for 60 minutes. My strategy? Take a walk to burn some calories in advance.
There you go. It will not crack. It will be smooth and silky. It’s done; I promise. Of course, to be perfectly safe it should reach an internal temp of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
