Ingredients
For the 9” Pie Crust
- 1 c + 2 Tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 7 Tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cut into chunks
- ¼ c + 1 Tbsp ice cold water
For the Quiche
- 1 ½ c whole milk
- 3 eggs
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp rosemary
- ½ tsp thyme
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 c fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 c Swiss cheese
Instructions
For the 9” Pie Crust
- Preheat your oven to 425F.
- Place the flour and salt in the bowl of your food processor. Add the cold chunks of butter. Pulse to combine the mixture, until you have evenly distributed grains of butter within the flour.
- Slowly add 1/4 c of cold water, pulsing as you add, until the dough starts to come together. (If it doesn't come together after 1/4 c, slowly add 1 Tbsp more.)
- Remove the dough from the food processor and press firmly into a ball. Roll the dough out to a roughly 11 inch circle and place it in a 9 inch pie pan.
- Place a piece of parchment paper inside the crust and fill it with pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake the pie crust for 10-15 minutes, until lightly golden.
For the Quiche
- While the crust is baking, whisk together milk, eggs, and seasonings.
- Once the crust has baked, carefully remove the pie weights or beans.
- Sprinkle the chopped spinach into the baked crust and top it with the cheese. Gently pour the egg mixture over the fillings.
- Reduce your oven temperature to 400F.
- Return the quiche to the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, until puffy and slightly wobbly.* (A knife inserted into the center of the quiche should come out moist, but clean of any eggy bits.)
- Place the cooked quiche on a wire rack for 10 minutes to let it finish cooking and set up.
- Serve warm or refrigerate overnight and serve chilled.
Notes
- *If your crust seems to be browning too quickly, carefully wrap a strip of aluminum foil around the pie pan to cover the crust.
