How long and at what temperature do you cook this? Do you cook the crust first?

Making this to tonight! I think we’re gonna bake the crust a little first. Anyone try this yet?

G - I haven’t tried it yet but I would advise baking the crust a bit before adding the filling…you could protect the edges with foil so that the center can bake…

I made and it was excellent! I added an eggs to the crust mixture because it wasn’t very doughy. Baked it according to the directions above and it was awesome.
