I was expecting a simplistic recipe but instead was provided a recipe with ingredients that I have never heard of (Gruyere Cheese) and measurement values that require research (150 ml of milk). I think the consideration should be made for those of us who are new to this internet age and they should keep in mind that the cookers of the household are middle aged women who are use to regular methods of measurement.

This Quiche had the most wonderful flavor and texture. I used 5 oz. shredded Gruyere cheese and shredded ham and 4 eggs with 8 oz. whipping cream. I omitted the cayenne pepper and used about 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg. Took a little longer to bake (about 1 hour in my toaster oven) because of the extra eggs, but well worth it. Thanks, I will be adding this recipe to my breakfast rotation list. *Update* Feb. 7 09: Made this again today and added sliced asparagus, very good.
