Sun Dried Tomato, Spinach, & Feta Quiche

For the crust

Ingredients

• 1 cup & 2 tbsp flour
• 1 pinch kosher salt
• 3 tbsp firm cold butter
• 3 tbsp lard
• 2-5 tbsp cold milk

Instructions

1. Put flour and salt in bowl. Using your hands, cut butter and lard into flour, working quickly so the butter doesn't melt. Rub flour and lard through fingertips until mixture is fine and fats are pea sized.
2. Start adding the milk 1 tbsp at a time while still working the dough with your hands until the dough just comes together. The less milk you use, the flakier the crust will be. Do not overwork the dough.
3. Once a rough lump has formed, place in the fridge while making the custard and working the fillings. When the custard and fillings are ready, pull dough from the fridge.
4. Roll dough out gently on a floured surface and line your quiche dish. Cut away excess dough. Prick with a fork and fill.
