Quiche - and no-roll pie crust

I like to make quiche quite often, once every few weeks. It's really easy, and delicious with this recipe. I just use whatever I have on hand to add into the mix. This time I had pizza topping left-overs so I used ham, pepperoni, cheese, onion, and tomatoes.
The quiche and the crust recipes make a big 9 inch pie plate, or 2 small (Marie Calendar's) pie tins.
Quiche:
Ingredients:

• pie crust recipe
  

• 1 cup shredded swiss cheese
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 2 Tbsp flour
  
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• toppings: bacon, ham, mushrooms (raw), tomatoes, spinach (raw), minced onion, cheddar cheese, etc.

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 450°F.
2. Sprinkle desired toppings in pastry-lined pie pans.
3. Whisk eggs slightly, Beat in remaining ingredients.
4. Pour mixture into pie pan.
5. Bake for 15 minutes at 450°F.
6. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
7. Bake an additional 30 minutes. May take longer if using raw ingredients, such as tomatoes and mushrooms.
   
8. Quiche is done when knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean.
9. Important--let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

Crust:
Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 cup oil (can put less, about 1/3 less, if you make up difference with milk)
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions:

1. Mix dry ingredients together with a fork in a pie pan.
2. Make a well in the center and add the oil and milk.
3. Mix with a fork til it makes a ball.
4. Flatten and press into the pan in pie crust shape and flute the edge.
5. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes until golden. (Bake for 8 minutes if using with quiche)
   

You can use this recipe for sweet pies too, just lessen the salt and increase the sugar.

These are the original recipes, un-edited. I've made a few changes, but here they are anyway.
