Ham and Broccoli Quiche

Ham and Broccoli Quiche

Quiche Pastry

Ingredients

flour
spry
water
salt
beaten egg

Directions

This is enough for a 20cm pie pan (I use pyrex).
1 cup flour in a bowl, add a half teasp. salt, mix together a bit.
Take 1/2 cup spry and rub it together with the flour so it becomes like thick breadcrumbs.
Add 1/4 cup very cold water and mix together quickly, it should all bind in a ball.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Roll out the dough into a larger circle than the pie pan, fold the dough in half and place it in half of the pan. Then unfold the top half and press the dough into the sides and bottom of the pan with your fingers. Prick with a fork all over the dough.
Place in the center of the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and paint the inside with beaten egg (use the rest for the filling)
Put pie pan back in oven and bake for another 5 minutes.
