- Cut/blend in the butter until you have coarse crumbs.

- Add cold water 1 Tbsp at a time until dough is soft but NOT sticky. Depending on your humidity, it will take 2-4 Tbsps of water.
- Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (longer is better).
- Roll out or press into a greased 9" pie pan, making sure that the crust comes all the way to the top, even overlapping the edge to make a "lip".

- Change oven setting to 350.
- Filling:.
- Spread the cheese around in the bottom of the crust.

- In a seperate bowl, whisk eggs together with the egg whites.
- Add salt, pepper, sour cream, and milk.
- Pour egg mixture into pie shell (do not stir).
- Place slices of tomato around on the top.
- Sprinkle with thyme.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes (The quiche may still be a tiny bit wobbly in the middle.).
