I love this cheesy quiche crust recipe. The cheese adds to the usually bland flavor of the crust to make it rich and tasty.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces

  • ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 5 teaspoons cold water

Directions

  1. Place flour in a large bowl. Sprinkle in butter; rub butter into flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Stir in cheese. Sprinkle cold water over flour mixture, a teaspoon at a time, stirring lightly with a fork. Add just enough water to allow dough to form a ball and cleanly leave the sides of the bowl. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  3. Roll out dough and place in a 9-inch pie or quiche pan. Use a fork to prick holes over the bottom of pastry.

  4. Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes before filling with quiche custard of your choice.
