when making a quiche, my bottom of my pie crust always seems raw??

Answer 1

blind bake it first. Another technique is to egg wash the bottom crust to seal it from the filling. After the egg wash, bake it for 3-4 minutes.

Answer 2

This is a tip to make it without the crust...sounds yummy

Making a crustless quiche is not much different than making a regular quiche. Actually it's easier, as there is one less thing to fiddle with. You do need some fat in the recipe to make it easy to remove from the pan, but unless you are making a super-low-fat version (using fat free milk, for example), you don't need to worry about greasing the pan.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 20 minutes
Here's How:

Prepare the solid ingredients - sauté and season any raw meats and vegetables. About 1 to 1½ cups of these work well for one quiche - more if there is no or little cheese. About 1½ to 2 cups total solid ingredients for a 9" pie pan is about right.
Spread meats and vegetables into a deep-dish pie pan.
Spread shredded cheese on top of the other ingredients.
Make the custard, using either a bowl with whisk, or (my favorite) a blender. A standard quiche might use 4 eggs to 1 and 1/2 cups of liquid, and this amount works well for a deep-dish 9" pie pan. You can use cream, milk, unsweetened soy milk, or a combination. Include seasonings as desired. I usually use salt, pepper, an herb or two if not already in the pan, and perhaps some dried mustard powder.

Pour the custard over the solid ingredients, and put onto center rack of 375 F. oven for 30-45 minutes.
Begin checking at half an hour. You want the outside to be done (a knife inserted comes out clean), but the center will be soft. (It will continue to cook after removing from oven.)
Remove from oven. The center will cook in a few minutes. You can eat it warm, cold, or room temperature.
Tips:

Make sure all ingredients other than the egg are fully cooked before adding to the pan.
When layering ingredients, heaviest go in first, and cheese last.
If top is browning too fast, cover with foil.
Sprinkling the top with paprika is a nice touch.
What You Need:

9" pie pan (Pyrex works well, or dark metal. Shiny metal isn't as good.)
Whisk or blender
Eggs
Other ingredients as desired

Onion Brunch Pie 1 ½ cups thinly sliced onions 2 Tbls. Butter divided 3 eggs ½ cup milk ¼ tsp salt 1/8 tsp pepper ¼ cup cheddar cheese ½ cup crushed saltines (about 15 crackers) In a large skillet over medium heat cook onions in 1 Tbls butter for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat. In a small bowl, beat the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Stir in onions. Pour into a greased 7 inch pie pan. Sprinkle with cheese. Melt remaining butter, toss with cracker crumbs. Sprinkle over cheese. Bake at 350% for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Note I love this quiche because you don’t have to have a crust.

Answer 4

Why don't you pre bake the crust halfway (maybe 5-10 minutes.
You can also try a layer of sliced cheese or ham on top of the crust before you pour the egg mix in. I find that vegs. in the eggs produce a lot of water, too, so maybe have the vegs as a side salad?

Answer 5

Always brown a bottom pie crust and then wrap the rim with tin foil to prevent edges from burning.

Another trick is after browning cove with cheese and melt so crust is sealed.

But i think people like soggy crusts. go figure

Answer 6

Put foil around the edges and bake your crust for just about 5 minutes BEFORE you put the filling in.

Answer 7

bake "blind" first.
Make your pastry, line your dish with it and place a circle of greaseproof paper and layer dried beans (ie kidney beans to stop the pastry from rising) on top. Bake in a medium hot oven for @ 20mins.
You can then place your filling in the case and just grill until brown!!

(or you can just turn down your oven temp and bake entire quiche for longer).

Answer 8

pre bake the pie crrust then add filling

Answer 9

I always bake mine for 15 minutes before I fill it.

Answer 10

Bake it first, then add ingredients, and continue to bake. Hope this helps.
