Parmesan Crust

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small bits
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup ice water

Heat oven to 425 F. To make crust, combine flour and salt in a food
processor or mixing bowl. Add butter and process or combine with a fork
until small particles are formed. Add grated Parmesan cheese and process
briefly to combine. If using a food processor, transfer the contents to a
mixing bowl. Add cold water and mix to make a ball of dough. Sprinkle
about 3 tablespoons flour on a board and roll the dough into a 12-inch
circle. Transfer dough to 10-inch tart pan or quiche pan. Lay a piece of
foil inside, and put dried beans inside the foil. This keeps the crust
from puffing up when it bakes. Bake the crust for 8 minutes. Remove the
foil and beans and bake 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from oven and allow
to cool while making the filling.
