Use your rolling pin to lift it up, then drape over the tart case so there is an overhang of pastry on the sides.

Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy

Sparkling Wine, Bordeaux, and Champagne are great choices for Quiche. Even if you aren't making mimosas, sparkling wine is great with eggs for two reasons. One, if you're eating eggs early in the day, sparkling wine has less alcohol. Secondly, it cleanses the palate, which is important since yolk is known to coat the palate. The Reginato Malbec rosé with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.
