Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, use half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • To prevent the quiche from becoming soggy, pre-bake the crust for 10-15 minutes before filling it.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the quiche. It should be set in the center but still slightly jiggly.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
