Petrina Tinslay

Swap out the Gruyere with one or more of your favorite cheeses, or add vegetables and proteins.

The possibilities are endless!

Fit the crust into a 9-inch pie plate.

Place on a baking sheet.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.

Stir in the parsley.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, and 14 teaspoon salt.

Stir in onion mixture and Gruyere.

Pour the egg mixture into the crust.

Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.

Let sit for 5 minutes.

Drizzle greens with the remaining tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with 14 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Serve with the quiche.
