nutmeg and dash of salt in a mixing bowl.

4. Stir dry mixture into beaten eggs. Add diced rhubarb.
Stir.
5. Fill the crust evenly with the rhubarb mixture. Dot
with firm butter. (Cover edge with 2-to-3-inch strip of

Remove foil last 15 minutes of baking.)

NOTE: If you are new to fresh rhubarb, be aware that
the large leaves are poisonous.
