Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 
2. Press pie pastry into the bottom of a 9-inch plate.
3. Bake pie crust in preheated oven for 5 minutes, use a fork to poke holes into the crust, and continue cooking until lightly browned, about 5 minutes more.
4. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees
5. Mix 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, and 1 tablespoon flour in a bowl; spread over the warm pie crust.
