We are a family that loves eggs. For dinner tonight, I am going to try a new recipe and try to perfect crust.
For the crust, I used Martha Stewart's pie crust recipe. She uses butter for the fat rather than shortening. The crust assembled easily in the food processor. I used more water than the recipe suggested and actually will use a little more next time. While the pie dough was resting in the fridge, I prepped the other ingredients. The apples were sauteed in butter to soften and release moisture. The cheese was grated and ham chopped. Eggs, whole milk, salt, and peppered with blended together.
Assembly time:
The dough was rolled and position in a baking dish. Care was taken not to stretch and to sink the dough into the base to prevent shrinkage. The layers began with apples, ham, and then cheese. The egg mixture was poured over the top.
The family critique included suggestions to replace the ham with bacon for a stronger flavor to blend with apples and cheese. Otherwise,we enjoyed this quiche recipe and the crust was perfect. No soggy bottom!!
