Broccoli,Chard, & Mushroom Quiche

Hey Whiskers,
This dish has a few steps but the result was well worth the effort. I served this dish alongside salmon and a few salads for a delicious dairy lunch. There is a decent amount of prep so while you do that make sure to take the pie crust dough out of the freezer so it will be able to be rolled out over the pan. While the idea of a blind bake may seem unneccesary it really must be done so when the custard is set you have a nice crisp bottom and not a soggy bottom ," no soggy bottoms" as Marry Berry would say. The baking pan depth will determine the length of cooking time so mine is just an estimate make sure to check on your quiche.
Till next time keep whisking up love and happiness to those around you
