Repeat process for remaining half
Whisk together eggs and then add evaporated milk. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour over lobster mixture. Careful not to overfill The lobster (or crab) takes up a lot of room. I’ve also made this is 1.5 cups lobster and there’s plenty.
Crumble bacon into small pieces and sprinkle on top.
Carefully place pie shell in middle rack of oven with a cookie sheet on a rack below it to catch any drips.
Bake for 50 minutes (until filling is sturdy).
