Step 5: Bake the Quiche

1. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the quiche on the center rack.
3. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until:
   • The edges are set
   • The center jiggles very slightly (like gelatin)

If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.

Step 6: Let It Rest

This is the secret step.

Let the quiche cool for 15–20 minutes before slicing.
This allows the custard to finish setting and makes clean slices possible.
