Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Place the pastry shell on a baking sheet for easier handling.

3. Beat the eggs in a large bowl with a wire whisk, whisking in the cream, salt, and pepper.

4. Sprinkle the shredded and grated cheeses into the bottom of the pasty shell and top with the filling of your choice.

5. Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling, allowing it to soak into the layers.

6. Bake until puffed, set, and lightly browned, 55-60 minutes.
