To blind bake a pie crust for quiche, first preheat your oven. Next, line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake the crust in the oven for about 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the crust is golden brown. This helps prevent the crust from becoming soggy when you add the quiche filling.
