Tips

  • If the edges of the pie shell start becoming too brown, you can wrap aluminum foil around just the edge part to keep it from burning.
  • Test whether the quiche is ready by sticking a knife into the center of each pie. The knife should come out clean and dry. If it does not, put it back for another 5 minutes or so.

Warnings

  • Pie will be hot when you first take it out of the oven.
  • Read your pie shell label to make sure there are no trans fat ingredients.

Things You'll Need
