NUTRITIONAL DISCLAIMER. Calorie count provided is an estimate and will vary based on cooking methods and brands of ingredients used.
  • Feel free to use any variety of veggies that your family would enjoy. Any fresh ones from the garden are delicious.
  • Makes a perfect brunch, lunch or light dinner.
Take the the pie crust out of the refrigerator before using. This will make it easier to press in the pan. Usually about 20 minutes is good.
How do I remove the tart crust from the pan with removable bottom?
Remove pan to a cooling rack for about 20 minutes then remove the sides and allow crust to cool on a wire rack.  Place your hand under the removable bottom and push up carefully to remove it.
What can I do if the bottom of my crust is stuck to the bottom of the tart pan?
When this has happened to me, I use a long knife or flat spatula and run it across the bottom of the tart crust. This usually works.
If you are serving the tart at your home and it will not come off, it is ok to leave the bottom on.
