1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
6 tbsp. cold vegetable shortening
3 tbsp. water
4 large eggs
1 1/4 c. whole milk
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. olive oil
8 oz. sliced mushrooms
2 clove garlic
1 1/4 c. grated zucchini and/or yellow squash
1/3 c. crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

Make the crust: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In food processor, pulse flour, and 1/2 teaspoon each sugar and salt until combined. Add vegetable shortening; pulse until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle in 3 to 5 tablespoons water, pulsing between additions until dough is just moist. Pat into disk. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze 30 minutes or refrigerate up to 2 days.
