Instructions

Pie dough

Add the dry ingredients (flour, paprika, and salt) to your food processor or mixer and mix briefly.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and pulse 10 times.
Add the butter and pulse another 10 times.
Add the heavy cream and pulse just until the dough starts to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a clean counter or into a large bowl and press the pieces together gently with your hands. You aren't kneading the pie dough. You just want all the little pieces to be able to stick into a single ball.
Once you have a single mass of pie crust, shape it into a ball and then press down with your hands to form a thick disk. Wrap this disk in plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before rolling out for a pie, galette, or whatever your use.

Notes

This pie crust recipe will make enough cheddar cheese pie dough for a bottom crust of a 9 inch or 9.5 inch pie.
Three ounces of shredded cheddar cheese is approximately three-quarters of a cup. If you're using a food processor to make the cheddar cheese pie crust, shred the cheese in the food processor prior to starting this recipe.
This flaky cheddar cheese pie crust is great for a cheddar apple pie, savory galettes, or quiches of all kinds. Or even use the cheddar pie dough to wrap a meatloaf or olive poppers!
