Quiche

I tried making a quiche today.  I used an instant pie crust that I found at the store.  I started with a quiche recipe from my sister-in-law, which I've had before and liked.  Unfortunately, the directions said to use a frozen crust, and since I already had the instant crust already made, I thought the baking directions might be inappropriate.

So I used this quiche recipe instead.  Of course, this recipe didn't use a pie crust, but I figured it would all work out.  I made the recipe as instructed (but added ham to mine in addition to the bacon).  In the mixing step, I wasn't able to get all of the flour lumps out.  I didn't want to start over, and I thought they were small enough, so I have it a shot.  I poured the quiche liquid into the pie crust and cooked, as instructed, for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.

At the end of 35 minutes, I tested it with a fork.  It was still soup!  I decided to cook it longer, and ended up cooking it for a total of 1 hr 15 mins to get it to where I was satisfied.  What the heck?!

I took it out of the oven, let it cool, and tasted it.  Overall, the flavor was good.  However, the pie crust wasn't quite done.  You couldn't tell based on the taste, though.

I wish to try again with another recipe.  Anyone have a good, simple recipe that you'd like to share?
