Steps diff
- Blind-bake the crust at 400F with weights until just set and lightly golden.
- Cook bacon until crisp and drain well.

Technique notes diff
- Blind baking | Pre-gels and dries crust to resist liquid seepage. | Maintains crisp base under rich custard.
- Temperature control before and during bake | Consistent dough and oven temperature regulates steam release, set rate, and browning kinetics. | This recipe depends on crisp structure and even doneness rather than uneven browning.
