Quiche with a Super Easy Whole-Wheat Crust
We've made this quiche with half ham and cheese and half goat cheese and tomato before, but there are many tasty things that you can add to this dish depending on your mood (and the contents of your fridge). And with a super easy whole-wheat crust, this recipe comes together in no time.

Ingredients
Easy Whole-Wheat Pie Crust
- 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour I like King Arthur’s organic white whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
Quiche Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups milk preferably whole
- 4 eggs beaten
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a 9-inch pie pan, combine all crust ingredients and mix with a fork.
- Use your hands to finish the mixing and then form a ball in the pan. Press it into the pan and bring it up on the sides, and then pinch the top (with your finger or a fork).
- Mix all quiche filling ingredients and then pour right into the raw crust.....We mixed bits of ham and cheddar into one half and then diced tomatoes and goat cheese into the other half after pouring it into the crust - it required a steady hand to get the pie pan into the oven without mixing up the two halves!
- Bake at 375 for 30 - 40 minutes or until filling is set.
