In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with lemon juice and vanilla extract. Once the custard has thickened, slowly add the egg mixture to the saucepan, stirring continuously to prevent curdling. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the custard to thicken further and become smooth.
Cool and transfer:
Remove the custard from the heat. Discard the lemon peel, and let the custard cool slightly. Pour the custard into a lightly greased baking dish.
Bake the pie:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Let it cool and serve:
Allow the Galatopita to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. This dessert is best enjoyed chilled.
Tips
Lemon zest adds a fresh, citrusy flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy custard. Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon to your taste!
Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Storage: Keep any leftover Galatopita in the fridge for up to 3 days.
