Plum Pie

We got a bunch of plums from a neighbor. They are delicious but they are quickly getting too ripe so I have been making yummy treats I really shouldn't be making (because I am eating them). I made this plum pie last night. The girls are eating the last of it this morning and I want to make another one, it was so good. It has a really easy crust- no rolling out and simple ingredients. It actually tastes like shortbread to me. I think it would be good with any kind of fruit. I am going to make one with apple. Anyways- if you want to give it a try. I hope you enjoy (I know I am enjoying it too much).

Sidenote: After I poured the eggs on, I didn't quickly spread it over the pie so I had a couple of egg puddles. When I do it again- I will pour the eggs all over and then smooth it out right away.
