How to Make Quiche Pastry

  1. In a medium bowl, cream together 8 ounces (225g) of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup (113g) of softened unsalted butter until smooth.
  2. Add 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt to the bowl.
  3. Using a fork, gently cut the flour into the butter and cream cheese mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add 1-2 tablespoons of ice water, one at a time, mixing lightly after each addition until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  5. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to your desired thickness (about 1/8 inch).
  7. Carefully transfer the dough to your prepared quiche pan. Trim and crimp the edges.
  8. Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork.
  9. Freeze the crust for at least 30 minutes to prevent shrinkage during baking.
  10. Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool completely before adding your favorite quiche filling.
