This was DELICIOUS! I used a Nabisco Nilla 6 oz. piecrust instead of making the square crust. I used egg white to brush the crust before I pre-baked it for 5 minutes (as the package directs). Added the leftover egg wash to the eggs in the filling. Did everything else as the recipe dictates. One complaint, though: THIS DID NOT MAKE ENOUGH, as Hubby and I ate the whole thing in less than a day. Next time I will double the filling and make 2 pies! Made with the piecrust, each 1/8 of the pie has 220 calories (not counting any that may be in the lemon juice). SIMPLY EXCELLENT, but not low cal. YUMMY
