4     eggs, slightly beaten
1 ½ cups half-and-half, light cream, or milk
¼    tsp. salt
1/8  tsp. black pepper
¾     cup chopped cooked ham, cooked bacon, roasted or grilled chicken, and/or steamed  vegetables
1 ½  cups shredded Swiss, Monterey Jack and/or Havarti cheese
2      Tbsp. all purpose flour

1. Preheat oven to 325°. Lightly coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons herb or herb combination on the bottom of the prepared pie plate; set aside.

2. In a medium bowl stir together eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper.  Stir in meat and/or vegetables.  In a small bowl, toss together the cheeses and flour.  Add to egg mixture; mix well.
