Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Combine sifted flour and margarine to make the crust dough.
- Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of water gradually until the dough holds together.
- Roll out the dough and fit into a pie plate.
- Bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Fill with desired ingredients and bake further as needed.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier crust, ensure your margarine is cold before mixing with flour. If you're out of margarine, butter or a vegan butter substitute can work well. You can enhance the flavor of the crust by adding a pinch of salt or herbs. Consider pre-baking the crust for a few minutes longer if you plan to fill it with wet ingredients for better texture.
Serving Suggestions
Quiche Supreme is delicious served warm or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with a fresh side salad, such as Colleen'S Salad Dressing drizzled over mixed greens. For a hearty meal, consider serving it alongside Stewed Tomatoes With Corn. This versatile dish can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. For a quick option, you can microwave individual slices for about 1-2 minutes, but this may result in a softer crust.
