- 4 tbsp ice cold water
for the quiche egg filling
- 3 large eggs
- 1½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup cream
- ¼ tsp nutmeg

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, whole 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 or 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.
