Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
2 (10-ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach, thawed
3/4 pound thinly sliced boiled ham
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons coarse-grained mustard
3 carrots, coarsely grated
3/4 lb coarsely grated Swiss cheese
1 large egg

Instructions

Blend together flour, butter, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal, with remainder in small (pea-size) lumps. Drizzle 6 tablespoons ice water over mixture and gently stir with a fork until incorporated.
Test mixture by gently squeezing a small handful: It should hold together. If not, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition until incorporated. (Do not overwork.)
Turn dough out onto a work surface and divide into 2 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once in a forward motion to distribute fat. Form each portion of dough into a disk. Wrap separately in plastic wrap and chill until firm (1 hour) or up to 1 day.
