Prick base with a fork. Freeze for 15 minutes or until firm. Place tin on hot baking tray in oven. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 180°C/160°C fan-forced.

Notes
Freezing pastry in the tin removes the need for ‘blind baking’ with baking paper and weights or uncooked rice.
If using non-stick pan or tin, there is no need to grease before adding pastry.
Stand quiche for 5 minutes before serving.
