QUICHE WITH BRIE

Steps:

• Line a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with the pie crust. Line the inside of the crust with crumbled wax paper or parchment paper and fill with dried beans.
• Place in oven and bake about 12-15 minutes or until partially done. Remove the beans and the paper and bake an additional 2-3 minutes to dry out the bottom.
• Preheat oven to 375F to bake the quiche.
• Using a fork, blend the cheese with the butter and cream.
• Beat in the eggs.
• Force this mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps.
• Stir in the chives. Taste and season with the salt, pepper and cayenne.
• Pour into the pastry, place the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the quiche is puffed and browned.
