Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a round springform pan or dish and place on a baking sheet.
- Press dough firmly into bottom and sides of dish. Fold or crimp edges of dough as desired.
- If necessary, precook pastry according to instructions on packaging.

- Once crust is par-baked, remove from oven and pour egg mixture into crust. Cover exposed edges of pie crust with foil to prevent over-browning.
- Place quiche dish (still on baking sheet) on middle oven rack and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until eggs are set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove quiche from oven and set aside to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
