Serves 6–8PIE CRUST:Melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the oil and milk.Place the flour and salt in a separate bowl and mix. Add in the butter mixture and mix with a fork. The dough will be very crumbly. Place this mixture into an 8-inch pie plate. Use your fingers to push the dough down into the pie pan, shaping it to fit the bottom and sides of the pan. Be patient with this process. This dough will take a bit of work to fit into the shape of a crust. Prick the bottom of the crust in several places with a fork and then place the pie pan in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°.Place the pie in the oven and bake blind (unfilled) for 20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool for 15–20 minutes. Fill with the quiche mixture and bake according to directions.
