This sounds good but what about the danger of raw eggs? I have always made egg nog and never had any problem but now they say it is not safe. Betty

I find it unfortunate that so many of these recipes have no pictures - worth a thousand words. - bri <3

I used to make this recipe all the time...it is truly wonderful!!! Haven't made it lately...I guess if I did, I would used pasteurized egg for sure. The secret to the perfect filling is: you must beat each egg for about 5 minutes, before you add the next, and the next. Also, you must be sure there are NO grains of sugar left on the sides of the bowl...it is to die for!!

Hi all, This is a user submitted recipe and what it calls for are raw eggs. There are several pie recipes that call for the use of raw eggs. However, Egoins777 makes a good point, if you are uncomfortable eating raw egg.

Using the raw eggs would require the use of pasturized eggs or an egg substitute. The recipe needs to contain this info unless a baking step has been left out, which I think is the case.

what other dishes do you use raw eggs in? I don't think I would feel comfortable making this recipe.

My concerns as well? It does make sense if the crust is already baked and cooled (and of course we do use raw eggs in other dishes?)
