Bittman's Mini "Quiches"

Inspiration:
Mark Bittman

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cream (or half-and-half, milk or a combination) gently heated just until warm
• 3 eggs, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup grated Gruyère
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
• Butter as needed

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 325 degrees and set rack in middle of it. Combine all ingredients except butter and beat until well blended.
2. Pour into 4 to 6 buttered ramekins and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until almost firm; it should still jiggle just a little in middle. Cool on a rack, then serve warm or at room temperature.

Suggested beverage: grapefruit or orange juice, espresso
