Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

tip 1
Sprinkle chopped green onion on top of baked quiche for a pop of color and flavor.
tip 2
Try slicing the bacon slices crosswise into ½-inch pieces before cooking them in a skillet until nice and crisp. Drain the pieces well on paper towels—no need to do anything more than layer them in the pie plate.
tip 3
Use a wire whisk to beat the half-and-half with the eggs, after seasoning them. A whisk is the most efficient way to really blend them together, creating a custard mixture that will meld well with the rest of the ingredients.
tip 4
When you unroll the pastry dough, lay it out on lightly floured surface, pastry cloth or silicone baking mat. Roll the dough out so that it's about 1 inch larger in diameter. Sprinkle a little flour in bottom of the pie plate; fold the dough in half, lift it up and lay on half of the dish. Unfold the dough and gently ease the pastry into the pan.
