Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the pie.
Prepare the pie crust: Roll out the pre-made pie crust and carefully fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming any excess dough around the edges for a neat finish.
Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Gradually add the heavy cream, honey, fresh lemon juice, and sea salt while continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Fill the crust: Pour the honey mixture into the prepared pie crust, leaving about half an inch of space from the top to prevent overflow during baking.
Bake the pie: Place the pie on the center rack of the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The filling should be set but slightly wobbly in the middle, indicating it is perfectly baked.
Cool the pie: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack to set properly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use high-quality honey for the best flavor depth.
Be careful not to overbake; the center should jiggle slightly when done.
Letting the pie cool completely is crucial for clean slices.
This pie is best served at room temperature or chilled.
You can garnish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt before serving for added texture.
