Can evaporated milk be used in place of 1/2 1/2? Is there any other substitute?

Good morning! Yes, evaporated milk can be used in place of the half-and-half. But this may alter the rich and creamy texture of the dish. Hope this was helpful. :)

What we mean by "baked pie crust" is to take a refrigerated pie crust and bake it according to package directions. Then, it can be used in the recipe. We hope this clears any confusion! Thank you for your comment. :)

Is there a substitute for the Swiss Gruyere Cheese used in this Quiche Lorraine recipe? It is not often found here, and when you do find it, it is expensive!

I love your recipes. But, I see alot of times when you call for "1 cup" of an item then it shows 4 oz. When I went to school "1 cup" was 8 oz. not 4oz.

4oz is the weight of the pk cheese, 4oz shredded cheese will equal i cup of cheese, it can be tricky & usually the cup amount will be posted on package of cheese
