  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella, Swiss, Gruyère, and feta cheeses evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half cream until fully blended and smooth.
  4. Finely chop the fresh basil, parsley, and dill, then mix them into the egg mixture.
  5. Pour the egg-herb mixture over the cheese layer in the pie crust.
  6. Bake the quiche for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden and a knife inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the quiche cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
