• 1.5 cups milk, preferably whole

Preparation

Step 1

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.
