Easy Cheesy Quiche

Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (256g) freshly milled hard white wheat or soft white wheat
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 stick butter
  • 6-7 tbsp iced water
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • salt + pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375° F.
  2. Start by milling two cups (256g) of flour. You can use hard white wheat of soft white wheat for this recipe. If you do not have a grain mill, feel free to use store-bought whole wheat flour in this recipe.
  3. Heat butter on the stovetop or in the microwave until just melted.
  4. Add salt & melted butter to flour and mix until combined.
  5. Slowly add 1 tbsp of ice water at a time until the mixture just starts to come together. When it is just past the crumbly stage and starts to form a dough, you know you've added enough water.
  6. Using your fingers, evenly press the dough into the pie pan, working it through the center and up the sides until you have a crust that fills the whole pan.
  7. Par-bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes.
  8. While the crust is baking, mix the eggs, milks, cream, salt & pepper, and parsley with a whisk until fully combined. Shred the cheese.
  9. When the crust has finished par-baking, add 1 cup of the cheese to the bottom of the crust and pour the egg mixture on top, then top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
  10. Bake in the oven at 375° for 30-35 min, until it is golden brown on top and the eggs are fully set in the center.
  11. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Pro tip: always cut 2 slices before trying to remove the first slice!
