Directions

  1. Blend flour and salt in processor. Using on/off turns, cut in butter and shortening until pea-size pieces form. With machine running, add enough ice water by tablespoonfuls to form moist clumps.

  4. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  5. Bake crust until golden, piercing with fork if bubbles form, about 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
  6. Whisk cheese, cream, sour cream, salt, and cayenne in medium bowl to blend.
  7. Add eggs and whisk to blend.
