Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheddar Cheese Quiche Crust.
Step 1
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend all-purpose flour with cold butter, using your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the texture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 2
Next, fold in the shredded Cheddar cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 3
Gradually add cold water, one teaspoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork after each addition until the dough starts to come together and pulls away from the bowl's sides.
Step 4
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 5
While the dough cools, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie or quiche pan.
Step 7
Carefully transfer the rolled dough into the pan, pressing it into the bottom and sides.
Step 8
To prevent bubbling during baking, use a fork to prick holes in the crust's bottom.
Step 9
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes before adding your favorite quiche filling.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful aroma as your quiche comes to life!.
