2 1/2 cups (sliced into 1 inch pieces)
Sugar
1 1/4 cups (none)
Strawberries
1 1/2 cups (fresh and sliced)
Enriched Flour

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beaten eggs, sugar, flour, salt, and nutmeg. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3
In another bowl, gently toss the sliced rhubarb and strawberries together until evenly mixed.
4
Prepare a 9-inch pie plate by lining it with the pastry crust. Spoon the fruit mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
5
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fruit, ensuring the filling is well distributed.
6
Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of butter or margarine for additional flavor.

If you have a pre-made lattice crust, carefully lay it over the filling. If making your own, roll out pastry dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern. Crimp the edges high to hold in the filling.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Once baked, fill any openings in the lattice crust with whole strawberries for a charming finish.
