Pie
Description
This pie is delicious both hot and cooled. When left to rest, it develops rich, distinctive flavors. In its country of origin, France, this quiche recipe is considered classic and is a must-know for every home cook. The open bacon pie known as "Quiche Lorraine" can serve as a base for experimentation. By adding fish, different types of cheese, or vegetables, you can create an entirely new flavor. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Roll out the dough into a flat layer and place it into an ovenproof dish, pressing the edges of the dough against the sides of the pan. Cover the dough with a layer of foil or parchment paper and weigh it down with a small weight to prevent the dough base from rising.
