- Cook the white sauce over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly
- Season the sauce with salt, nutmeg, and pepper to taste
- Add the remaining chopped hearts of palm to the sauce and mix well

- Cover the pie with the remaining dough, shaping as desired
- Bake in a preheated oven at high temperature for approximately 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly
