Ingredients:

Serving

1 (9 1/2 inch) deep dish pie shells, unbaked and chilled
6 eggs, at room temperature
2 cups grated cheddar cheese (or the lesser known emmenthal or cantal cheese) or 2 cups gruyere cheese (or the lesser known emmenthal or cantal
2 cups heavy cream or 2 cups half-and-half or 2 cups whole milk , gently heated just until warm
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425°; prick the crust all over with a fork.
Line it with tin foil and weight the bottom with a pile of dried beans, rice, or other weights that will sit flat on the surface.
Bake 12 minutes; remove from the oven and carefully remove the weight and foil; turn the oven to 325°.
In a bowl, combine the eggs, cheese, cream, and seasonings; beat until well blended.
Place the baked crust on a baking sheet; pour the egg mixture into the crust, right to the top.
Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the oven; bake 30-40 minutes, until the mixture is set but still moist; it should still jiggle just a little in the middle (cover pie crust edges with foil if getting too brown).
Cool on a rack; serve warm or at room temperature.
