Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter cold, cut into cubes
  • 0.33 cup ice water

Filling

  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 0.5 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 0.25 cup onion finely chopped
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  • Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Scatter the cooked chicken, cheddar cheese, and chopped onion evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the chicken and cheese.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  • Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the egg mixture.
