A delightful savory tart featuring Swiss cheese and a creamy custard filling, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
Place the pre-made pie crust into a pie dish, pressing it gently to fit.
Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling.
In a mixing bowl, toss the shredded Swiss cheese with the flour until evenly coated.
Coating the cheese with flour helps it distribute evenly in the filling.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Ensure the cheese is spread out evenly for consistent flavor.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Whisking thoroughly ensures a smooth custard.
Pour the custard mixture over the cheese in the pie crust.
Pour slowly to avoid spilling over the edges.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
This initial high temperature helps set the crust.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue baking for 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check the tart towards the end of baking to avoid overcooking.
Allow the tart to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Letting the tart cool slightly makes it easier to slice.
