Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 12 ounces flour (all purpose or a mix of types)
  • 8 ounces cold butter, cubed
  • ½ cup ice water
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1-2 cups vegetables (see Notes)
  • 2 cups cheese (I used a combination of cottage cheese and shredded mozzarella)
  • ½ cup pine nuts, optional
  • 12 eggs, beaten
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
  1. Combine the flour and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on low until just pea sized pieces of butter remain. Combine the water and vinegar and slowly drizzle in, just until the dough comes together. Use more water if needed.
  2. Remove dough and shape into a ball. Divide into 2 equal pieces and shape into a disk, then wrap in plastic wrap to refrigerate or freeze. When you're ready, roll out a chilled disk and fit into an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Place the prepared crust on a baking sheet to prevent spills.
  3. Combine the vegetables and cheese and pine nuts (if using) in a large bowl, and stir in the beaten eggs. Add salt and pepper and stir to combine. Pour into the prepared crust and bake at 375 for 1 hour. Let stand a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Many vegetables like green onions, herbs, and jalapeños can be used raw, but for vegetables packing a lot of water (greens, tomatoes, onions, peppers) you'll want to sautés them first to remove much of that excess water.
