    1/2 - 3/4 shredded cheese (cheddar mix)

Tips

Filling could be any mixture you like: Meats, fish or other veggies such as spinach, potatoes, peppers, fennel, asparagus, etc. Just use your imagination!


Directions

-Place pie crust in pie plate and prick with fork. Chill for at least 30 minutes (usually I do this the night before)
-Blind bake crust until it is a light golden brown (bake in a 375 degree oven with pie weights)
-Place vegetables/meat in bottom and sprinkle cheese over filling mixture.
-Bake in 375 degree oven for about 45 minutes. Top will be slightly brown and should be almost firm to touch. Depending on your oven it could take another 10-15 minutes.
