A delightful quiche featuring a buttery crust, creamy filling, and a blend of cheeses and herbs.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and butter until crumbly. Add cold water and mix until a dough forms.
Use cold butter to achieve a flaky crust.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and press it into a pie pan. Trim the edges.
Chill the crust in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking to prevent shrinking.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
Use pie weights to prevent the crust from puffing up.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cheese and parsley.
Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air for a fluffy filling.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
Spread the filling evenly for consistent baking.
Bake the quiche at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set.
Check doneness by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.
Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Cooling allows the filling to set, making slicing easier.
