Steps to make Pimiento Cheese Make-Ahead Quiche
1 | Prepare pastry | 1 |
In a food processor, pulse 1¼ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon sugar and ½ teaspoon of salt a few times until combined. | ||
2 | Add vegetable shortening | 2 |
Add 6 tablespoons of cold vegetable shortening then pulse again until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. | ||
3 | Add water | 2 |
Add about 3-5 tablespoons of water, pulsing in between each addition, until a moist dough forms. | ||
4 | Chill | 30 |
Form into a disk-shape and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 2 days, to chill. | ||
5 | Preheat oven | 5 |
Preheat the oven to 375 °F. | ||
6 | Prepare crust | 3 |
Roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface, into an 11-inch round shape then transfer to a 9-inch pie pan. Trim the excess and tuck the edge over the rim to create a decorated, crimp border. | ||
7 | Bake | 25 |
Line dough with baking parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Then remove weights or beans and bake for another 10-13 minutes until the edge is golden and the base is cooked. Cool on a wire rack before using. | ||
8 | Prepare custard | 2 |
In a large bowl, whisk 4 eggs with 1¼ cups of milk, ½ teaspoon salt, then add 2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese, 1 jar of chopped pimientos, 2 cups of green onions, 2 teaspoons of hot pepper sauce, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce until combined into a custard filling. | ||
9 | Bake | 30 |
Fill the pie crust with the prepared custard filling and bake in the preheated oven at 375 °F for about 30-35 minutes until the middle is cooked and set. | ||
10 | Serve | |
Cool for about 15 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature. | ||

Couldn't ask for a better dish than this, bon appetit everyone!
Tasty and simple that's how I like my recipes, thx for posting this one.
Hubby and I usually don't eat things like this but we both enjoyed it.
Not really my thing but my sister enjoyed it so going to be making it for her again.
Kids actually ate the whole thing up, they thought it was another type of pizza,LOL!
Had to swap out the whole milk for lactose free and chedder with goat instead since I'm lactose in intolerant, it was still tasty though.
Skipped the hot pepper sauce cause spicy things upset my stomach, but the meal on it's own was delicious.
Anyone know what I can replace the worcestershire sauce with? I couldn't find it at all.
This pimiento cheese dish is really good, bookmarking this page for all the amazing things you guys have on it.
Made this for me and the family last Friday and here I am making it again cause everyone loved it.
5 stars all the way, this was one of the best things I've ever made along with the broccoli salad with bacon.
Not sure where to find the worcestershire sauce so I had to skip it, anyone have any recommendations? I'm living in Czech republic right now.
Could've sworn this was pizza by looking at it, might make this again but as a prank on my kids and put it in a pizza box lol.
Very tasty and easy to make, will be making this a lot more often thanks for sharing.
I put some ketchup ontop of mine, yummy!
Brilliant little plate of food, this is so simple to make if you just follow the steps and affordable.
