Quiche

Quiche

The first thing I had to do was make the crust. I started by mixing the flour and salt together. Then I cut in the lard after the flour and salt was mixed. After that I slowly put in some water to moisten. The next thing I did when the batter was all sticking together I rolled it into a ball. I then rubbed in flour on the pastry cloth and rolling pin cover so the dough wouldn't stick. Next I put the ball of dough on the counter and formed it into a disk. Then I set the dough on the pastry mat and rolled out my dough. Once I rolled it out I folded it over and placed it into my pie pan. I then cut the edges off the sides and crimped the sides with my fingers to create a finished edge. After making the crust I started making the filling for the quiche. I beat eggs and milk together making sure all the eggs where beat up. I then browned the sausage and added that to the egg mix. I also added salt and pepper to taste and some shredded cheese. Lastly I added the egg and sausage mix into the crust and baked it in the oven for 50min at 350 degrees. I got this recipe from Mrs. Cummings and it is definitely one I would make again. The quiche had a prominent pepper taste because of the pepper and Italian sausage. It wasn't very cheesy which I liked because I didn't want it to take over the taste of the quiche. It was a very well made breakfast meal and looked very flavorful. The yellows and black from the pepper made it look professional.
