Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350
Crust – Place the butter, salt and flour into the food processor and pulse a few times to blend. With the machine running, slowly pour in the whisked egg (measuring 1/4 cup liquid), until the dough forms a ball, adding extra flour or a sprinkle of cold water as needed to form a soft dough ball.
Divide the dough into 4-pieces if making individual quiche or make one large quiche. Roll the dough out on a floured surface just large enough to fit into the pans/pan.
Quiche Filling
Whisk the eggs, with garlic, salt, pepper and thyme until light and fluffy.
Divide evenly into the prepared crust/crusts. Place thin slices of soft cheese across the tops of each quiche. Top with a sprig of thyme.
Bake until the crust is golden and eggs are firm in the middle, about 30-minutes.
