Chocolate chip custard pie

I needed to get rid of some milk (since the boys have left to go back to university), and I didn't want the milk to spoil. Also, I had some chocolate chips that were in bad shape after being exposed to heat from the oven, and I felt like something chocolate. So, here's what's in the oven right now. It's supposed to make its own crust. I thought I'd write it down in this journal so I would remember it. So, here goes:

Combine 2 eggs, 1/2 c sugar, 1/4 c flour, 1 t vanilla. Beat well. Add 2 c milk. Put 1 c chocolate chips in bottom of pie plate. Pour mixture on top. Bake 1 hour at 350F.

The pie turned out ok. The chips made a nice surprise at the bottom of the pie. And the flour did form a crust at the bottom. Next time I'll grease the pie plate and add 1 or 2 more eggs.
