Preparation Protocol

1. Preparation is the key to success...:
   Place Keebler Graham Ready Crust in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, but no longer!
   Adjust oven rack to the center.
   Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Let's get this party started :):
   Brush a COLD/CHILLED graham Keebler Graham Ready Crust with egg wash (next line).
   One large egg white whisked with one Tbsp. water.
   This will create a moisture barrier for the filling and help prevent a soggy crust.
   Bake the crust in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
   Leave the oven on!
   Allow the crust to shed heat while resting on the rack you'll use to cool the pie later.
   Did you leave the oven on?
3. Make the damn thing:
   In a large mixing bowl, whisk well until fully combined (by hand to avoid bubbles):
   Sweetened condensed milk and Egg yolks.
4. Wisky business:
   In the same bowl, whisk until fully incorporated (by hand to avoid bubbles):
   Key lime juice.
   Lemon juice.
   Lime zest.
5. Fill It:
   Pour filling into the crust.
   Smooth the top with a rubber spatula. (this may not be necessary if the filling is loose enough).
   Bake 15-20 minutes until the center of the pie is set. (check after 15).
   Do Not overbake it. The filling will still be jiggly!
   Cool on a wire rack 30 to 60 minutes before moving to the refrigerator.
   The refrigeration will make it firm.
6. And now we wait ;(:
   Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours, or overnight.
   DO NOT cover the pie with plastic or the filling will stick to it.
   Instead leave the pie in the refrigerator with the "dome" that came with the pie crust.
7. Finally, we eat!:
   Serve with a lime wedge (or fancy S-Twist), Whipped Cream, and Awesome Sauce!
