Broccoli Quiche
These are great recipes from Allrecipes.com; pie crust and broccoli quiche. The latter was improvised for a desired texture and flavour. The pie crust is flaky and delicious, whereas the quiche itself is flavourful and cheesy.
Thanks Miles for making the wonderful pie crust. This quiche surely beats the store bought ones!

1 + 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening
3 tbsp ice water
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour and salt.
2. Next, cut in shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Drizzle 2 to 3 tbsp of ice water onto the mixture. Adding more water a few drops at a time to form a dough.
4. Shape the dough into a ball. Wrap it with a plastic wrap, and let chill for at least 30 minutes before rolling.
5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface, and place it on a pie plate.
