Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Cold water
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 bunches Green onions
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Gruyère)
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Optional: red chili flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cut in the unsalted butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, wash and finely chop the green onions.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, shredded cheese, remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes. Stir in the chopped green onions.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish, trimming any overhanging edges and crimping the sides as desired.
Pour the green onion filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool slightly before slicing.
