Whisk eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, nutmeg. Scatter Gruyère + leeks + herbs in crust; pour custard. Bake 28–35 min until just set with a slight wobble; rest 10 min.Side salad: toss arugula with lemon juice, olive oil, pinch salt/pepper.Serve: warm slices with a small mound of lemony arugula.Include: yield 6–8; total time ~55–65 min; exact ingredient amounts (cups/grams); blind-bake cues (lightly golden, not brown); doneness cue (center barely jiggles); make-ahead (serve room temp; rewarm low oven).Swaps: vegetarian by default; add crisp bacon or sautéed mushrooms if desired; cheese swap (goat cheese + a few cherry tomatoes); GF (gluten-free crust); dairy-light (whole milk instead of half-and-half); crustless option (turn into a custardy pie in a greased dish).Plating: pale gold slice with emerald herb freckles and a bright lemon-arugula ‘new beginning’—simple, window-seat, fully home-kitchen accessible"
