ZUCCHINI TOMATO QUICHE

Steps:

• Pre-bake the crust: Heat oven to 350°F. If using a homemade pie crust, freeze it for at least 30 minutes. Line the inside of the crust with heavy duty aluminum foil. Fill the pie crust to the top with pie weights-either sugar, dry rice, or dry beans. (I prefer to use sugar). Bake for 50 minutes. Remove from oven, remove foil and pie weights from crust. (See my detailed instructions on blind baking a crust .) Note: If you're using a store-bought crust, you can defrost it and skip the pre-baking, or partially-pre-bake it using the instructions for pre-baking on the package.
• Bake: Bake for 45 to 55 minutes at 350°F, until set in the center. If the edges of the crust look like they might get a too browned, tent them with foil or a pie protector. Note that if you are using a store-bought crust that is more shallow than a homemade crust, the quiche will cook more quickly. Remove from oven when the center of the quiche has set and the top is lightly browned. Let it cool completely before serving.

• Carefully pour into your prepped pie plate. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Check around 30 minutes and if it seems to be browning too quickly, cover with foil paper. Every oven is different and we bake ours the whole time uncovered.
• The quiche will be done when a fork comes out of the middle mostly clean. Keep in mind that the quiche will rise, but then deflate a little.
