Crafting the Crust: Tips for Flakiness

Cold ingredients. Minimal handling. Chill dough before rolling. Roll evenly. Dock with fork. Blind bake for 10-15 minutes. Prevent sogginess. Crisp edges. Firm base.

Butter chunks visible in dough. Creates layers. Flaky texture. Avoid overworking. Rest dough in fridge. Wrap tightly. Use parchment paper for rolling. Easy transfer.

What fillings to put in a quiche?

Vegetables - spinach, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers. Sautéed or roasted. Drain excess moisture. Prevent soggy filling.

Meats - bacon, ham, sausage. Cooked and chopped. Adds smoky, savory notes.

Herbs - thyme, chives, parsley. Fresh or dried. Brightens flavors.

Cheese - blend for complexity. Gruyère with cheddar. Feta with mozzarella. Balance creaminess and sharpness.

Layer fillings evenly. Avoid overfilling. Custard should cover all. Bake until set but slightly wobbly in center.
