Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

CRUST – You do not need to pre-bake or partially bake the pie crust. Keep an eye on the quiche in the last 10 minutes of baking. If you are concerned that the crust is getting too brown you can cover the edges with foil or a pie crust guard. A quick note – we use a store-bought deep dish pie crust but you can certainly use our homemade pie crust recipe instead.
