tuftears | Quiche with homemade whole wheat pie crust

It's been a teensy bit of a while since I made quiche, so I made one for today's lunch with my mom. This time I decided to try making the pie crust from scratch, using a different recipe from the one I used last time.

Looks legit.

I used the food processor to mix the dough, but I think that may have made it too tough for a properly crumbly pie crust. It was also a bit less flavorful than I'd have wanted. I should try mixing some parmesan cheese into the pie crust.

Pie crust is more or less this recipe. I baked the crust at 475 degrees for 6 minutes before adding the filling.

Filling is 1.25 pounds of ground turkey, 1 pound of baby spinach sautee'd with 1 pound of grated carrots, roughly a small onion's worth of chopped frozen onions, some bell pepper strips for color, 1/4 cup of ground flax seed, some amount of parmesan cheese and crushed red peppers, plus about one or two tablespoons of "organic no-salt poultry seasoning". Topped off with shredded skim mozzy cheese and cheddar cheese.

Filling tasted fine, just the crust could use something to boost it!
