Instructions
For making the crust:
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut 2 sticks of butter into smaller chunks and add to the flour mixture. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to blend until the butter chunks are smaller.
- Add the Crisco and combine using your hands. The mixture should now resemble coarse crumbs.
- Add the ice water and use your hands to form the dough into a loose ball. It should be on the drier side.
- Roll out the dough and fit it into the pie dish.
For making the quiche filling:
- Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit (176° Celsius)
- Steam the broccoli until it’s fully cooked. Set aside.
- Heat a little vegetable oil in a skillet. Remove the casing from the chorizo and cook for about three minutes. It can be a bit liquidy.
- Add all of the filling ingredients to a bowl. Whisk until fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish with the crust in it.
- Cook the quiche for 45-50 minutes or until the quiche is golden brown and the middle is set.
