Directions:
Combine the cream or half-and-half and the eggs in a bowl and whisk until combined thoroughly. Add the salt and the nutmeg and whisk to combine.

Heat oven to 350º

Evenly distribute the pie fillings of your choice in the pie crust. Do not overfill the crust with the filling ingredients. Do not pour too much egg mixture in the crust. The eggs will expand upon cooking.

Bake the pie until it is firm to the touch like set Jell-O, about 45 minutes. Cool the pie for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Personal Notes:
Josh Austin introduced us to this wonderful version of a quiche that can be modified based on what is in the fridge or what you are in the mood for.

We LOVE to top with Grape Jelly for a sweet and savory combination.
