If you need an easy whole wheat crust for your next quiche recipe, you’ve come to the right place! Quiche often seems overwhelming to make at home because of the crust, but once you try this simple-to-make recipe, you’ll be hooked on making it at home over and over again.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Set aside a 9-inch pie pan.
To the bowl of a food processor, add the flour, salt, and cubed butter. Pulse to gently combine until the flour mixture looks crumbly. Pour in the milk and pulse until the dough just starts to form a rough ball. Alternatively, you can make the dough in a large bowl by first mixing together the dry ingredients and then using a fork or pastry blender to mix the butter for your flaky dough. If you’re not planning to use the dough right away, shape it into a flat disc and wrap it in plastic wrap, then store it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
Either roll the dough using a rolling pin into a circular shape that’s slightly larger than the pie pan, or simply press the dough into the pan and bring it up on the sides, and then pinch the top (with your finger or a fork).
Now your whole wheat crust is ready for all the quiche filling! Fill it (we love this broccoli sausage quiche filling), then bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and your crust is golden brown. If your crust is browning too quickly, you can cover the edge of the crust with foil. Allow your baked quiche to cool for 15-20 minutes before slicing into it.
