3. Mix the shredded swiss and chopped ingredients together and sprinkle them into the pie shell.
   
   
   
   
4. Beat together the heavy cream, eggs, and any seasonings (salt & pepper in my recipe).
   
   
   
   
5. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the pie tin on the pan *do this before pouring the liquid in!*
   
6. Pour the liquid mixture over the ingredients that are already in the pie shell.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. Bake approximately 35-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
