The mixture of Swiss and cheddar cheeses gives tang to this versatile quiche, which holds its shape but is creamy-soft like a custard. Mushrooms, vegetables, or seafood may be added for variety. --Philbrook Farm Inn, Shelburne, New Hampshire

• 9-inch pie crust, unbaked and refrigerated
• 6 slices bacon

• 4 eggs
• 2 cups thin cream
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• Pinch of nutmeg
