Pre-made Pie Crust

[smith2la]

I want to make a quiche, but don't have the time to make a crust. Do you have any recommendations where I can buy a crust that is good and suitable for quiche? Thanks.

If you have a food processor, there are a lot of fine recipes where you simply throw everything into the processore for less than a minute, then roll it out and voila, a great pie crust. It doesn't take long and all you need are flour, vinegar, shortening/lard and ice water. I get my recipes on the internet.

That's what I do... and for many you don't even have to roll it out, just press it in the plate... if you're doing a single crust pie.

I have a recipe for Italian squash pie that uses Pillsburty crescent rolls as a pie crust. It's actually quite good.

I use Pillsbury & have never regretted it.

I like to make Spinach Feta Pies and have looked for pre-made crusts. Warning: Many of them ASSUME you're making a sweet pie and sweeten the crust.

I have yet to find one I can use. Let us know if you find a non-sweet version.

Go to Zeytun Market on Sunset just west of Normandie, the sell empenada dough in the frozen section, they have real good prices. They also sell the dough at Catalina Market on Western, just south of Santa Monica. I make many savory empenada type things with these.

I found out about the sweetened Traders Joe's dough the hard way. I made a savory tart, needless to say it was terrible. The dough was fine and delicious, just not with the onions and cheese.

I always buy, I think Pillsbury - NO LARD only vege oil Never had a problem. Great for wraping up a wedge of brie or filling with one's favorite fruit. I have also used these to line a baking dish then fill it homemade chicken pot pie filling. :)

Do they make two kinds of Pillsbury pie crusts? Because the ones at Von's and Ralph's are made with LARD.

I use Marie Callender's, usually from Pavillions/Vons. They're deep dish, so you may have to adjust your cooking time. I wouldn't use Pilsbury or the store brand.

Surfas has a wonderful French-ish named all-butter crust in the freezer compartment. It's about $11.

$11 for a pie crust ??? OUCH

Trader Joe.

Really? TJs?
I tried a Pilsbury one once and threw the pie away.

trader joe's no longer has them--they say they will be back in "q4", which is holiday season. STOCK UP when they come back, as they are quite good, and don't contain any of the unpronounceable stuff found in some of the other crusts.

bummer. my TJs said they might be on the next truck. it's terrific stuff. so easy. and mostly butter.
