For the best results, ensure the butter and water are very cold. This helps to prevent the gluten from over-developing, resulting in a more tender crust. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Gruyere, Parmesan, or a blend of cheeses would also be delicious in this crust. If the dough becomes too sticky while rolling, lightly dust the surface with flour and continue rolling. If you're short on time, you can chill the dough for up to 24 hours.

01 Step
Recipe View Gather all ingredients. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, place the flour. Distribute the cold butter pieces evenly over the flour. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese until well combined. (10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Gradually sprinkle the cold water over the flour mixture, adding one teaspoon at a time. Using a fork, gently stir to incorporate the water. Add just enough water until the dough begins to come together and forms a ball, cleanly separating from the sides of the bowl. Be careful not to overwork the dough. (5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a more tender crust. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) towards the end of the chilling time. (30 minutes + preheating time)
05 Step
Recipe View On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie or quiche pan, gently pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges for a decorative finish. Use a fork to prick holes evenly over the bottom of the pastry to prevent it from puffing up during baking. (15 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until it is lightly golden. This pre-baking ensures that the crust is partially cooked and will not become soggy when filled with your chosen quiche filling. (10 minutes)
