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