In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and ¼ teaspoon salt then cut in ⅔ cups of cold butter using a pastry blender or fork.

In another mixing bowl, whisk 1 egg yolk with 5 eggs, 4 cups half & half, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon of pepper and a dash of red pepper until combined. Pour over the ingredients in the quiche.
