- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and half (½ tsp or 3 g) of the salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture reaches a sandy texture.
- Add the beer in small amounts and stir until the dough holds its shape and forms a ball. You may not need to add all the beer.
- Cover the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- In a medium pan add the bacon and set it over low heat. Let the bacon fat render until the bacon is crisp, about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the bacon from the pan, set the heat to medium, cook the leeks, bell peppers and mushrooms until tender, about 5 minutes. Set the fillings aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/205°F. Roll out the pie dough and place it in a 9”/23 cm pie plate. Line the crust with parchment paper and pie weights or dry beans. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Beat together the eggs, cream, pepper and the remaining salt.
- Remove the crust from the oven, sprinkle half the cheese in an even layer and then add the fillings. Pour in the egg mixture, top with the remaining cheese and garnish with dill.
- Brush the edge of the crust with a little bit of the egg mixture and bake the quiche until the center is set, approximately 25 minutes.
