Nostalgia: Coconut Custard Pie

Hey y'all. Anyone remember the Entemann's Coconut Custard pie that our mother used to love? I do, and it's been on my mind.
Turns out, it's a really easy recipe. I usually have all the filling ingredients in my pantry. Just picked up a ready made pie shell from the Meijer store...you can make it yourself, though.

Make this and love it.

1 (9 inch) pie shell
4 eggs
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups milk
1 cup shredded coconut

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a large bowl beat eggs then stir in sugar, salt, nutmeg or cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Heat milk in a small saucepan then pour milk slowly into egg mixture, whisking constantly. Stir in coconut, then pour mixture into pastry shell.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serve slightly warm or chilled. Store in refrigerator.
