Strawberry pie custard tart

Ingredients:
1 refrigerated pie crust
1 cup egg (about 3 large eggs)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1.5 cups milk (I used half and half)
2 cups fresh sliced strawberries (can also use peaches, blueberries, kiwi etc)
Whipped light cream (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Place pie crust in 9-inch pie plate, pressing crust firmly into bottom and up sides of plate. Flute edge. Prepare the crust as directed from the box (might need to pre-bake).

Beat egg, sugar, vanilla in large bowl with wire whisk until blended. gradually beat in milk until combine. Carefully pour filling into prepared crust.

Bake 40 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool completely on wire rack.

Chill until firm, about 2 hours. Arrange fruit on top. Cut pie into 8 slices, top each slice with wipped cream just before serving.

I screwed up one pie crust huhuhu.. (luckily it comes with 2 crusts in a box). Because it was still eatable, I put the pieces into ramekins and poured some custard tart on top of it and baked it in the oven. Hehehhe still eatable :
