Best Ever Quiche Recipe

1. Prepare the crust:

• In a food processor, combine flour and salt. Add cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Gradually add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough begins to come together.
• Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish. Press into the pan and trim any excess dough.
• Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and weights. Bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden.

2. Prepare the filling:

• In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add your choice of filling (ham, bacon, or spinach) and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and thyme. Add the cooked onions and filling, and stir in shredded cheese.

3. Assemble the quiche:

• Pour the egg mixture into the prepared crust. Spread it out evenly.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top.
• Allow it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Enjoy the perfect slice of quiche with your favorite salad or as a standalone dish! The combination of a buttery crust, creamy filling, and your choice of mix-ins makes this a comforting and satisfying meal.
