Preparation
Step 1
Measure the ingredients for the dough. Take the butter from the fridge just before use - it must be cold.
Step 2
Sift the flour and combine with the cold butter.
Step 3
Rub together with your hands until crumbly. Work quickly so the butter doesn’t melt. You may also use a blender.
Step 4
Beat the egg with salt until smooth.
Step 5
Add the beaten egg to the crumbly mixture and mix quickly.
Step 6
Do not knead the dough too long. It should be soft and uniform. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Step 7
Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment or wrap into a round sheet about 0.2 in (0.5 cm) thick. The sheet should be larger than the form by the height of the sides.
Step 8
Transfer the dough into a 8-inch (20 cm) baking form. Form sides about 1.2 in (3 cm) high. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing. Refrigerate again for 20 minutes.
Step 9
To prevent puffing while baking, line the base with parchment and add pie weights (dry beans or peas).
Step 10
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the crust for about 15 minutes. 5 minutes before it’s done, remove weights and parchment and return to the oven to dry the bottom. Then remove the crust.
Step 11
While the crust bakes, prepare the filling. Use any cheeses, preferably a mix for richer flavor. Replace or skip any cheese as needed. Use 10-15% fat cream.
Step 12
Grate all the cheese on a coarse grater.
Step 13
Whisk the eggs with cream until smooth. If cheese is mild, add a little salt to taste.
Step 14
Pour the egg mixture over the grated cheese and stir.
Step 15
Fill the baked crust with the cheese mixture. Return the form to the oven.
Step 16
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 25 minutes, until the filling sets and lightly browns. Time may vary by oven.
Step 17
Let the quiche cool slightly, remove from the form, and serve. It’s good warm or cold, but best warm, when the cheese filling is tender and melted. Enjoy!
