water until the dough forms a ball. On a lightly
floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle.

removable bottom. Line the crust with aluminum
foil and pie weights. Bake for 8 minutes, or until
lightly browned.
Reduce oven temperature to 400°F.
Sprinkle the crust with cheese. Top with asparagus,
bell pepper and basil.
In a bowl, combine Egg Starts, half-and-half, salt and
pepper. Pour over the vegetables. Top with pine nuts.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until set in the center.
