Baked Egg Custard With Gruyère and Chives image

This is so easy yet makes impressive an impressive main dish (especially for brunch). As it bakes, the Gruyère melts into the nutmeg-scented egg and milk mixture, and takes on a light, quiche-like creaminess. From Gourmet Magazine (Dec. 2008).

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this recipe didn't turn out well at all. The custard was overcooked and the Gruyère cheese was rubbery.

This was a disaster! The custard didn't set properly and it was way too runny.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The custard was a little bland for my taste.
