Recipe
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and ice water. Set the bowl aside
- In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour and salt. Pulse briefly until mixed. Add in the the cubed butter pieces and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add in the egg/ice-water mixture. Pulse again until dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly-floured board. Roll out the crust so that it fits the measurements of your pan or dish. Lay the rolled out dough onto the top of the pan. Using your hands, gently press the dough into place. Slice off any extra dough that’s hanging over the rim of the pan or dish.
- Stick the quiche pan with the dough into the freezer for approximately 20-25 minutes or longer.
- Preheat your oven to 450°
- Line the unpricked pastry shell with heavy-duty foil to weigh down the crust
- Bake for 8 minutes at 450°
- Remove the foil then bake 5 to 6 minutes more or until lightly browned
- Remove again and lower your oven to 350°
- Add filling to the crust. Bake at 350° 45-60 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
