Equipment

  • 1 measuring cup
  • Measuring spoon
  • 1 medium microwave safe bowl
  • tortilla press or rolling pin
  • 1 pie pan
  • 1 large skillet
  • Paper towels or a colander
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 knife
  • 1 Large spoon
  • aluminum foil
  • Toothpics
  • 1 baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 batch fathead dough
  • 1/2 lb. ground beef
  • 1-1/2 cup cheddar cheese divided
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 4 tsp. Carbquick or other baking mix

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the fathead dough according to the instructions here.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Break off pieces of the fathead dough and roll out as flat as possible. You can flatten the dough for a thin crust if you own a tortilla press. To use the tortilla press, place a dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper and press the dough in the tortilla press as flat as possible to produce a round disk.
  • Place the disk in the bottom of a pie pan.
  • Continue with the remaining dough balls until all the pressed or rolled-out dough is pressed into the pie pan. A deep dish pie pan is ideal for this quiche; however, if you only have a regular pie pan, it will do.
  • Press the dough disks together as they are added to the pie pan to seal them together.
  • Crimp the edges of the crust and poke some holes in the bottom.
  • Bake the crust for about 12 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
  • In the meantime, brown the ground beef in a skillet.
  • Drain off the grease and set it aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs, half the cheese, salt, pepper, milk, mayonnaise, baking mix and chopped onion.
  • Mix the ground beef cheese.
  • When the pie crust is done, remove it from the oven and spoon the ground beef into the pie shell.
  • Carefully pour the egg mixture over the beef.
  • Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese.
  • Place a foil rim around the edge of the crust.
  • Place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
  • Cut into wedges to serve.
