Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or the temperature specified on the package.

2. Place the uncooked quiche on a baking tray.

3. Tear off three or four strips of aluminum foil, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide. Fold the aluminum foil strips in half lengthwise and fit the strips around the rim of the quiche plate. Pinch them in place to cover the crust. This will keep it from browning too much before the filling is cooked through.

4. Bake the quiche for the amount of time recommended on the package. This is usually 30 to 35 minutes for a precooked quiche and 35 to 40 minutes for an uncooked one.

5. Remove the aluminum foil strips from the crust after about 15 minutes so it can brown as the quiche cooks.

6. Insert the tip of an instant-read thermometer into the center of the quiche, making sure it does not poke through the bottom crust to the pan. The quiche is done when the thickest part has reached its minimum safe temperature of 160 F.
