Baking Instructions for QSS75

Product thawing

Place the pastry shells on bench/ baking tray to thaw to room temperature - approximately 30 minutes.

Oven temperature

Pre-heat fan forced oven to 150°C for pre-bake, 170°C for filled shells.

Fill temperature

Ensure your fill mixture is at room temperature.

Baking time

For pre-baking shells using cold-set fills:

• Place thawed shells into pre-heated 150°C oven and bake for approximately 12-14 minutes.
• Allow the pre-baked shells to cool before adding your cold fill then place in the fridge/ serve.

For baking shells with raw fills:

• Place raw fill into thawed raw shells - take care not to over fill the shells or allow any fill in between the pastry and the foil, as this will cause the pastry to stick to the foil and will prevent the pastry from baking evenly.
• Bake in pre-heated 170°C oven and bake for approximately 12-14 minutes.

Quick tip

Sprinkle the ‘dry ingredients’ (i.e., grated cheese and sundried tomatoes) into the thawed shells on a baking tray on your bench, then place your baking tray in the oven before pouring in your egg mix - this way your fill will not spill over when carrying from your bench to the oven.
