Ham Quiche with Herbs & Asparagus Salad

Why I Love This Recipe
Deep Dish Ham Quiche with Herb and Asparagus Salad
Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence
Ingredients You'll Need
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup (11/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small chunks
1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons ice water, plus more if needed
Directions
Combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Add the butter and mix with a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Beat the egg yolk and ice water in a small bowl to blend, add it to the pastry.
Work it in to bind the dough until it holds together without being too wet or sticky.
Squeeze a small amount together, if it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Form the dough into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Sprinkle the counter and a rolling pin lightly with flour.
Roll the dough out into a 14-inch circle about 1/4-inch thick.
Carefully roll the dough up onto the pin (this may take a little practice) and lay it inside a 9-inch springform pan.
Press the dough firmly into the bottom and sides so it fits tightly; trim the excess dough around the rim.
Place the pan on a sturdy cookie sheet so it will be easier to move in and out of the oven, this quiche is pretty heavy.
