Add the flour and butter (cubed) to a food processor and blitz until it resembles coarse crumbs. As the blades are still rotating, add water, little by little, until the dough comes together. If you need more detailed instructions, please follow this pie crust tutorial.
Preheat the oven to 200C (392F).
Press the pie dough onto a tart pan covering the bottom and sides. Prick with a fork and bake for 10 min. Chill in the fridge as the oven comes to temperature.
Crack the eggs in a bowl, add the cream and whisk together. Aside, grate the cheese through large holes. Add the cheese and black pepper to egg mixture and mix in.
Take the prebaked crust out of the oven and pour in the filling mixture distributing it evenly. Return to the oven for 20 more minutes, then take out and let deflate before serving.

Swedish butter is salted, hence the lack of salt among the ingredients. If using unsalted butter, add ⅓ teaspoon butter to the dough.
