1️⃣ Prep & Preheat
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
Spread rhubarb evenly in the dish.
2️⃣ Make the Custard
Whisk eggs + sugar until pale.
Add cream, melted butter, and vanilla.
Sift in cornstarch + salt, whisking until smooth.
3️⃣ Bake to Perfection
Pour custard over rhubarb.
Bake 40-45 mins until golden and set (center should jiggle slightly).
Cool 1 hour before slicing (it firms up as it cools!).
Pro Tips

🍓 Berry twist: Swap 1 cup rhubarb for sliced strawberries.
