Prepare the Crust
If using the refrigerated pie crust, place in a pie plate on a sheet pan; then par-bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes prior to adding the egg filling.
When using a frozen pie crust, place the tin on a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Assemble the Bacon and Cheddar Quiche

Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust; then bake in the oven until the eggs are set and the top is lightly browned for approximately 45 minutes.
If the crust starts to get too brown before the egg filling sets, cover the edges with aluminum foil. Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into 6 slices.
