Bake. Lay pie dough into an 20 cm tart pan or pie dish (at least 1 1.3 cm deep), and trim excess dough around the edge. Push dough lightly into edges, next, using a docker or the tines of a fork, pierce holes in even rows across the base plus round the wall of dough. Freeze for no less than 30 minutes plus up to overnight. Heat oven to 220°C plus set rack to center position. Line dough using baking paper, allowing it to overhang the sides, plus fill the pan using pie weights, dried beans, or dry rice. Cook the crust for 10 minutes. Remove weights and baking paper, cover edges of the pie dough using tin foil, plus put it back in the oven. Bake till only just coloured brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Take out and lower oven temperature to 175°C. Beat cream and milk with eggs till well incorporated in a big bowl. Beat salt and pepper into custard base. Strew cheese all over bottom of pie plus set on a rimmed baking tray. Move to the oven, next with care tip custard base in pie (you can slide the oven rack out a little to help with this, but take care to push it back lightly to avoid spilling the pie filling). Bake till center is just barely set yet still jiggles when touched, around 35 minutes. Remove from oven and leave till it is cold at least 15 minutes before serving. Eat while warm, scattering minced chives on top, if wanted.
