Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a pie dish.

Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic in a skillet until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well combined.

Stir in grated Gruyère, cheddar, and crumbled goat cheese into the egg mixture.

Add sautéed onions and garlic to the cheese mixture and combine thoroughly.

Season with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the quiche is set and golden on top.

Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
