homemade tart crust

Making a buttery, flaky quiche crust from scratch is easy peasy. It takes only 10 minutes to make the dough and roll it out, then 20 minutes to get it cold and ready to bake.

Flaky Quiche Crust from Scratch

+ 1/2 tablespoons ice water

all-purpose flour

sea salt

unsalted butter,

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and ice water. Set the bowl aside

In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour and salt. Pulse briefly until mixed.  Add in the the cubed butter pieces and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add in the egg/ice-water mixture. Pulse again until a lovely dough forms.

Transfer the dough onto a lightly-floured board. Roll out the quiche crust so that it fits the measurements of your quiche pan or dish. Lay the rolled out dough onto the top of the quiche pan. Using your hands, gently press the dough into place. With a paring knife, slice off any extra dough that&#8217;s hanging over the rim of the pan or dish.

Stick the quiche pan with the dough into the freezer for approximately 20-25 minutes (but if you leave it in there a bit longer, that&#8217;s fine too). For a flaky quiche crust it&#8217;s important that the crust is cold when it&#8217;s filled and cooked.

Your cold quiche crust is ready to be filled and baked!

I have always used store bought pie crusts because years ago I made a pie crust that was horrible. Last time I made quiche I forgot to buy pie crust and I needed it right away. I googled and this recipe came up.  It is super easy and delicious. No more store bought for me.  Making 2 quiches for tomorrow and going to try doubling the recipe. Hope it works!

Easy and delicious. Mine needed 3.5 tablespoons of water

This is excellent! I followed the recipe to a T.

This is my third time to use this dough recipe for quiche! It really is a game changer 💯
