Whole Wheat Nut Cheddar Crust For Quiche Food

QUICHE WITH A SUPER EASY WHOLE-WHEAT CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a 9-inch pie pan, combine all crust ingredients and mix with a fork.
• Use your hands to finish the mixing and then form a ball in the pan. Press it into the pan and bring it up on the sides, and then pinch the top (with your finger or a fork).
• Mix all quiche filling ingredients and then pour right into the raw crust.....We mixed bits of ham and cheddar into one half and then diced tomatoes and goat cheese into the other half after pouring it into the crust - it required a steady hand to get the pie pan into the oven without mixing up the two halves!
• Bake at 375 for 30 - 40 minutes or until filling is set.

CHEESY QUICHE CRUST

Steps:

• Place flour in a large bowl. Sprinkle in the chopped butter; rub butter into the flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Stir in the grated cheese. Sprinkle water over the flour mixture, a teaspoon at a time, stirring lightly with a fork. Add just enough water to allow the dough form a ball and cleanly leave the sides of the bowl. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Roll out dough, and place in a 9 inch pie/quiche pan. Use a fork to prick holes over the bottom of the pastry.
• Bake crust in preheated oven for 10 minutes before filling with quiche custard of your choice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Set aside 1/2 cup for topping the quiche. Using fingers, press remaining mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. To partially bake the crust, bake it for 10 minutes. Cool on a rack.
