Easy quiche recipe

Stir in the flour. Divide dough in half. Press the pastry into 2 quiche or pie dishes with your fingers so that it is fairly even throughout. For each quiche filling, you need about 4 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, some cheese, salt, pepper, and whatever else you like. Try: artichoke, spinach, mushrooms, bacon, leek, capsicum, (salmon & dill), onion in whatever combination takes your fancy. Whatever you like in an omlette should work.

1. Place flour in a large bowl. Sprinkle in the chopped butter; rub butter into the flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Stir in the grated cheese. Sprinkle water over the flour mixture, a teaspoon at a time, stirring lightly with a fork. Add just enough water to allow the dough form a ball and cleanly leave the sides of the bowl. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 2. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Roll out dough, and place in a 9 inch pie/quiche pan. Use a fork to prick holes over the bottom of the pastry. 3. Bake crust in preheated oven for 10 minutes before filling with quiche custard of your choice.
