Here are the steps. You can see it's very easy. The trickiest park is the homemade pie crust or you can use a store-bought crust. There are some really good ones out there. Whole Foods has an organic pie crust that I think is acceptable.

Notes
I also make quiche using the same recipe, except that I add spinach. I use frozen chopped spinach which I boil in water then put in cheesecloth to ring every drop of water out of it and then throw the cooked spinach in there on top of the other ingredients before pouring in the egg mixture.
