Ingredients
for the pie crust
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 4 tbsp ice cold water
for the quiche egg filling
- 3 large eggs
- 1½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup cream
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- salt and pepper, to taste
add-ins
- 1 cup shredded cheese, such as cheddar, feta or goat cheese
- up to 2 cups cooked vegetables and/or meat, pre-cooked, roasted or sautéed, such as bacon, roasted broccoli or sautéed spinach
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
- Gradually add the ice cold water, one tablespoon at a time, while mixing with a fork or pastry blender until the dough comes together in a ball.
- Roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch quiche pan. Trim the edges and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until smooth. Whisk in add-ins and then pour into crust.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top of the quiche is lightly golden brown and the center is set. Allow the quiche to cool 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
