To make little tarts, make half again the amount of crust and make into about 15 little tart shells by pressing the dough down into muffin tins.

To make this recipe richer I would not use milk but I would use fat free half and half. No cholesterol except the eggs, no fat, etc. I noticed that regular milk has 35g of cholesterol per cup. None in the fat free half and half. Try it. I use the fat free half and half in all my quiche recipes and they come out great. I'm going to make this recipe with the fat free half and half and I'll bet it turns out great.
