The Perfect Quick Quiche Crust

An Easy and Delicious Homemade Crust for Impressive Quiches in No Time

When it comes to making quiche, there are two options: buy a pre-made crust or make one from scratch. While buying a pre-made crust may seem like a time-saver, making a quiche crust at home is the best option for several reasons.

Making your own quiche crust allows you to control the ingredients that go into it. Many store-bought crusts contain preservatives, additives, and high levels of sodium, which can affect the taste and overall quality of your quiche. By making your own crust, you can use fresh, wholesome ingredients and customize it to your liking, such as adding herbs, spices or even different flours to create a unique flavor profile.

Its surprisingly easy and straightforward. All you need are a few basic ingredients, such as flour, butter, salt, and water, and a bit of patience. The process of making the dough can even be therapeutic and enjoyable, allowing you to take your time and appreciate the process of creating something from scratch.

The perfect quick Quiche Crust

An Easy and Delicious Homemade Crust for Impressive Quiches in No Time

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp cold water
• 1 egg
• 10 Tbsp butter, cubed
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cold water and egg until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and salt.
4. Add the cubed butter to the flour, mix until the mixture resembles a sand textured. Make sure to use a pastry dough cutter or a food processor to reach this consistency.
5. Gradually pour the egg and water mixture into the dry mix. Whisk the mixture until the wet ingredients have combined with the flour mixture.
6. Transfer the mixture to a lightly flour surface.
7. Using your hands, bring the mixture together until the ingredients come together and shape into a dough.
8. Roll the dough out on a floured surface until it's about 1/4 inch thick.
9. Gently transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish, or any other size pan.
10. Press the dough into the corners and up the sides of the baking pan.
11. Trim the edges of the dough if necessary.
12. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork a few times to prevent air bubbles from forming.
13. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
14. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool before filling with your desired quiche filling.
