Instructions
Quiche Dough 1 Add dry ingredients into a large bowl and whisk to combine. 2 Add cold cubed butter into the bowl, and gently mix them with your hands covering them in flour. 3 Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until combined - the butter should appear as pea-size clumps of butter before you know it’s time to move on to the next step! 4 Pour in the ice-cold water and using your hands, start kneading the dough together into the bowl. Once the dough starts to come together, pour out the dough onto your work surface and continue to gently knead until the dough becomes cohesive. 5 Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1.5 hours before rolling out to an 1/4 of an inch thickness and form to your pie/quiche plate. Place the formed quiche shell into the fridge while you work on your filling. Herb and Ginger Infused Milk 15 Place ingredients into a saucepan and heat until the milk has come to a simmer. Place a lid of the milk and remove from heat. Allow the ingredients to infuse for 30-60 minutes before moving on to the next steps. Leek and Squash Filling 7 Preheat your oven to 400°F 8 Whisk together the eggs, infused milk, salt & pepper together in a large bowl. Add the sauteed leek, roasted squash and cheese into the bowl and gently mix to combine. 9 Pour mixture into the quiche shell, no more than ¾ full. Brush the edges of the crust with egg wash before baking. 10 Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the filling has set. 11 Allow to cool and enjoy!View original recipe
