Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

7. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden.
8. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
9. Once cool, dust the top with powdered sugar.
10. Cut into triangles and serve.
