Flaky, Foolproof Quiche Crust for One (Because You Deserve Brunch Too)
If you’ve ever bitten into a quiche only to be met with a soggy, sad crust—you know the betrayal. But fear not: this recipe has your back (and your bottom).
This single-serving quiche crust is buttery, crisp, and doesn’t require a culinary degree to pull off. It’s sized perfectly for ramekins, muffin tins, or mini pie dishes—so whether you’re flying solo, living that van life, or just don’t want leftovers for days, this one’s for you.
Here’s why you’ll love it:
- No pre-baking necessary (yep, really!)
- Flaky but sturdy enough to lift out and serve
- Works with any savory filling your heart desires
Tips from my kitchen:
- Don’t skip the chill time. Cold dough = flaky layers.
- Use a fork to poke tiny holes in the base to prevent puffing.
- A ramekin gives the best lift-out finish, but muffin tins work just fine too!
