2 cups milk ( i often use half and half, or light or heavy cream) |
1 teaspoon ground mustard |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
4 eggs |
8 frozen (thawed) phyllo sheets (18 x 14 inches) |
4 teaspoons butter or margarine, melted |
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (2 ounces) (i mix this into the egg mix. i often use various cheese or just swiss, havarti, sharp, provolone anything goes!) |
