Sherwood Quiche

the pie crust:
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

- Preheat oven to 350º. Combine all pie crust ingredients in a mixing bowl. Form dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, chill until firm.
- Place dough between two sheets of wax paper or parchment paper and roll out to 1/16-inch thickness. Transfer dough to a 10-inch pie plate or 8-inch springform pan.
- For pie plate, trim dough, and crimp edges. For springform pan, press edges into sides and trim upper edge.

1 thought on “Sherwood Quiche”
Love your quiche. When should we put the cheeses in. Should we mix the cheeses
with the milk and eggs? Should we put the cheeses on top of the quiche as the last ingredient?
Thank you.
