• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

5. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the pie crust, ensuring an even distribution.
6. Place the pie dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the crust is a golden brown.
7. Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes to firm up slightly before slicing and serving.
