--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1       c            Cheese -- grated
   1       c            Half & half
   4       lg           Eggs
   1                    Unbaked pie shell
   1       c            Filling
   1       ts           Salt
   1 1/2   ts           Herbs (your choice)
     1/8   ts           Black pepper

  Preheat oven to 350 F. Beat the eggs. Brush pie shell with beaten
  egg and pre-bake for 5 minutes. Allow to cool for a couple of
  minutes. Combine cheese and filling material and place in pie
  shell. Dust with salt, pepper, and herbs. Combine half & half and
  eggs and pour over all. Leave a little room for expansion. Bake
  30-40 minutes (golden brown and a knife inserted in the center
  comes out clean). Allow to rest for about 10 minutes before
  serving. It is a good idea to place your pie pans on a cookie sheet
  just in case this boils over.
  
  Re: measurements. Since you generally buy a dozen eggs, frozen pie
  shells come two to a pack, half and half is sold in Pints and it is
  easy to buy a big enough brick of cheese, I usually double this and
  make two quiches. They freeze well and make great leftovers and are
  a wonderful breakfast.
  
  Re: fillings ... anything you want. Suggest spinach, chopped
  broccoli, onion, green pepper, crab, shrimp, sausage, bacon, ham,
  turkey, etc.
