- 200 ml (3/4 cup) milk

- 200 ml (3/4 cup) cream

- 2 egg yolks

- If desired: strips of ham, mushrooms or herbs

Method

line a quiche pan with pastry; prick the bottom with a fork;
cover the pastry with the cheese;
in a bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, cream and seasonings; pour over the cheese;
bake in a moderate oven for about 30 minutes until the top is browned and the filling is set;
serve hot.
