Bake your crust unfilled, then make scrambled eggs out of your quiche ingredients. Let the crust cool and right before serving dump in the cooked egg mixture.

Voila! Crisp crust pseudo-quiche.

PS, puff pastry or phyllo dough works well for this.

How do you keep the bottom crust crispy?

DoWhat, taking away your Man Card, Real Men Don't Eat Quiche. J/K i like the ham and cheese quiche, but have no idea on how to cook it. I do know they taste better with Bud Light. :cheers:

pre-cook the shell until it starts to brown.

Does it matter what type of pan?
Pyrex glass Pan?
Aluminum Baking Pie Pan?
Stainless Steel Pie Pan?

I use the pre-made shell from the frozen section of the grocery store, it comes with an aluminum pan. Giant's store brand are pretty good.

BSGal used to make the best quiche. Did her pie crust, beat 6 eggs and a large blop of milk, then layered all her goodies in the crust, sprinkled on some shredded cheese, poured the eggs over the top, baked for 45 minutes at 350. Perfect every time and took her maybe 5 minutes to put together.

My favorite way to make a quiche: take a bag of frozen shredded has browns and thaw. Place the thawed goodies in a pie plate and blot really well with two or three paper towels to get rid of excess moisture. Drizzle the "dried" has browns with 1/4 cup of melted butter. Put in a hot 350 oven for 25-30 minutes or so or until they get nicely browned. In a separate bowl, break up three or four eggs, a very slight splash of milk, some shredded cheese, some diced ham, a sliced green onion, and dump all of that into the prepared hash brown crust. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until the egg mixture is set. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before trying to slice it is best. Yummy!

Love this! I like hash browns better than pie crust, too. :yay:

I like this better than your psuedo quiche idea. For me, it's got to be kind of custardy to be good quiche and pre cooking everything won't do that. Quiche is pretty easy to do the real way - pre-cooking the crust is key. Soggy crust usually comes from wet ingredients or too few eggs in the egg/cream ratio, or eggs not incorporated enough.

My newest egg love is a puffy omelette. omg - it's like an easy souffle. :)

The secret to a crisp crust is pricking the raw pie shell with a fork before baking. I now use Egg Beaters instead of eggs and have had great success with that. But, the next one I make I will use the hash brown crust that BadGirl suggested. That sounds heavenly!

I tried BG's suggestion of hash brown crust instead of pie crust for tonight's quiche dinner. Delish! Will use hash browns from now on. Thanks BG!

I don't use the frozen ones - I like the simply potatoes southwestern ones. They are spicy
