Look at the prior Quiche recipe for baking temperature (350F) and time (approx. 40 minutes). I wanted a pat-in crust that I could use with my new beautiful pie dish instead of a frozen grocery-store crust. This is an easy one. Crust ingredients - 1 & 1/2 cups plus 3T flour (substitute 1/2 cup whole wheat flour if you wish); 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 cup oil (I used olive oil), 3 T milk. Filling ingredients: 3 large eggs, 1 & 1/2 cup whole milk or half & half; 3/4 t. salt, 1/4 t. ground pepper, 1 t. or so Mrs. Dash original, AND 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar works fine), PLUS veggie fillings: 1 cup or the equivalent chopped sundried tomatoes, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, sliced up asparagus, or whatever filling you want to use. Mix crust ingredients with a fork in the pie dish, then gently but firmly pat the crust into the dish, being careful to fill any gaps. Place the grated cheese evenly on the bottom of the crust, place the veggie filling ingredients on top, then gently fill with the egg, milk and seasonings mixture. Sprinkle the top with ground nutmeg and bake.
