Chef's notes
The original recipe suggests using a sheet of puff pastry as the shell, but the author prefers using Martha Stewart’s Pate Brisee, minus the sugar.
The quiche can be made with different cheeses and still works.
For a crust-less version, bake in a greased glass quiche pan.
The recipe is versatile and can adapt to using different types of milk, such as heavy cream, skim, or even evaporated low-fat milk.
The crust can be par-baked, though the author generally does not find it necessary.
