Step 7: Place your filled pie crust with the baking sheet into your pre-heated oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Step 8: Lower oven temperature to 300 degrees. Bake for 30-35 minutes more or until when you insert a knife, it comes out clean and the quiche is set.

Step 9: Let sit for 10-15 minutes before cutting.

Step 10: Cut carefully with a serrated steak knife by first cutting through the cheese crust and then with a second cut on the same line to cut through the pastry crust. Take your time with cutting this to ensure pieces come out well.
