Cheesy Quiche Crust: A Flaky Base for Savory Delights

In a large bowl, combine the flour with the butter and rub it in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the cheese.

Gradually mix in the cold water (a teaspoon at a time) to form a dough that leaves the sides of the bowl cleanly.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F).

Roll out the chilled dough and transfer it to a 9-inch pie or quiche pan. Use a fork to prick holes over the bottom of the pastry.

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes before adding your choice of quiche custard.

Enjoy your cheesy, flaky quiche base!
