Jalapeño Crust Quiche

Mushroom, Potato, Onion and Cheese Quiche. But really it's the Jalapenos in the crust that set it apart. Jalapenos add a spicy taste to the crust and make you notice, Hey the crust is so good not just the egg part. You can add anything you like.



The Crust
1- 1/2 Cups four
1/4 cup ice water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cube butter, very cold and cut into 1inch pieces
1 Jalapeno cut in 3 pieces
Put the flour, salt, butter and jalapeno in food processor and pulse 8 times
Add ice water and pulse until everything comes together, right before it forms a ball. Put in plastic bag or plastic wrap and smash into a disk. Chill while you made the egg part. If it's to soft chill for 1 hour.
Roll out crust to fit a 9 in. pie pan. Try not to use to much flour when rolling out dough.
4 eggs beaten
1 Tablespoon flour
1 Cup of grated cheese of your choice
pinch of salt
3/4 Cup Milk
Mix all together and pour over the veggies of your choice. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until a little golden on the crust and firm to the touch on the egg part.
I used 1 medium potato diced and 1/2 onion chopped, sauted in 1Tablespoon Olive Oil until just soft, take out the potatoes and onions and add the mushroom and cook until just soft. Put into pie crust. Add egg mixture and bake for 45 mimutes or until firm to the touch. Enjoy and try different ingredients.
