Ingredients
crust
- 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/4 cup water ice cold
- 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter cut into pieces
- 1 large egg + 1 teaspoon water for brushing
filling
- 6 large eggs
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup white cheddar cheese freshly grated
- ⅓ cup Pimento cheese, softened
- ¼ cup chopped herbs, like parsley, basil and chives
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- kosher salt and pepper
- pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon everything seasoning, for sprinkling
Instructions
crust
- Add the flour, sugar and salt to a food processor and pulse just until combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vinegar and water.
- Add the cold butter pieces into the food processor and pulse until small coarse crumbs remain.
- Sprinkle the water/egg mixture over the flour and pulse again until the dough comes together.
- Remove the dough with your hands and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, roll the dough out and place it in a 9-inch tart pan or (deep dish) pie plate.
filling
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Whisk together the eggs, garlic, cream, cheese, pimento cheese, herbs, onions and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the filling into the crust. Brush the edges of the crust with the egg wash. Sprinkle the edges with everything seasoning.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until golden on top and set in the center. Let cool slightly before serving. This is so good served warm or cold! I like to serve it with a greens salad.
