5. 5

   Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and pour the egg mixture into the crust, ensuring an even distribution.

6. 6

   Dot the top of the quiche with small pieces of butter for added richness.

   Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.

   Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy with a light salad dressing for dipping.
