CHEESE PIE | Quiche | Step by Step Recipe

To make Pastry: Place flour in a bowl. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut butter and shortening into flour until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.

Add 3 tbsp of water and mix until well combined. Wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.

Preheat oven to 350.

In a bowl, mix flour with egg, mix until well combined and smooth.

Whisk in milk, then add all other ingredients and stir. Set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry to 1/8 inch thickness, in other words, pretty thin.

I used bowl about 6 inches in diameter to cut out the circles. Line muffin pan with pastry, lightly press.

If the pastry becomes too soft, making it difficult to roll, place it back in the refrigerator for a few minutes to chill.

Bake crust for 5 minutes, and then remove from oven and spoon filling into the crust.

Return to oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. The tops should puff up when they are done.

Remove from oven and allow to cool before removing from the pan.
