A couple of tips I should have included earlier.

Don't cook lobster all they way. I brought water to. A boil turned off heat dropped tails for 5 min

Dont fill pie shell to top. This will puff up. Leave about quarter inch

Have custard ready to go before you blind bake the shell. Pour custard directly into warm shell. This will keep your bottom crust from getting soggy. Directly to your cooker.

When you prebake your shell be sure you dock the dough and line with foil and fill with some old beans. This will keep the shell from puffing up.

Do anything you want with the spices. Whatever works for you. I think some cajun spice or old bay in the custard would work. And as some people suggested a little hot sauce when serving might be nice.

Good luck..let me know how you liked it.

Those tips will make the difference between a so-so quiche (or pie) and an excellent one!

Great tips Rick!

You try to keep it as short as possible and 8 hours later you remember the little stuff that makes a world of difference. Whenever you are baking something the devil is in the details.
