Crust Preparation
  1. Mix together the flour, butter, salt, baking powder with a pastry cutter or fork until the butter is cut into the flour.
  2. Add the ice cold water and combine.
  3. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap with cling wrap and place in the fridge for 2 hours.
Filling Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Boil the sliced potatoes for 5 minutes in salted water, drain.
  3. Whisk together the egg, half and half, cream, Swiss cheese, green onion, cooked bacon pieces, salt, pepper and ground nutmeg.
  4. Add the potato to the wet ingredients, stirring together.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Roll out the dough to fit your pie plate, poke all over, even the sides, with a fork.
  2. Par-bake for 10 minutes then remove from the oven.
  3. Pour everything into the par-baked pie crust EXCEPT for 1 tbsp of the liquid, use this to brush the edges of the pie crust.
  4. Bake for 30-40 minutes. If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, add some foil, covering just the crust.
  5. Remove from oven, let sit until cooled and serve.

Notes

Using a food processor makes the crust’s preparation effortless. Don't skip the resting period for the crust; this ensures it remains flaky and tender. Be cautious not to overfill your quiche to prevent overflow while baking.
