Cheese Quiche image

This is straight out of Joy of Cooking. My sister and I whipped this puppy up for a late-night holiday treat. We made an oil crust right in the pie pan which makes it simple. Don't be afraid of the nutmeg. it adds great flavor, but it isn't enough to make your quiche taste like a pumpkin pie. DELICIOUS!
