Quiche Tonight

We had Spinach, Bacon, & Mushroom Quiche tonight. It was very good. I actually made two and will freeze one for later. I put the cheese only on the inside this time instead of on the top, too. I liked it better this way but my husband added cheese to his.

6 eggs

2/3 cup milk or cream

1/2 package of frozen chopped spinach (thawed & water drained out or you can wilt down fresh)

4 oz sliced white mushrooms

3/4 cup shredded colby jack cheese

1/2 pack natural nitrate free bacon

1 deep dish pie shell (thawed approx 10-15 minutes - I use whole wheat or you can make your own)

1 tablespoon chopped green onion (or you can use white/yellow onion and sauté it with the mushrooms if you prefer that)
pinch of garlic powder (or throw some fresh garlic into the mix)

pinch of nutmeg

pinch of salt

pinch of pepper

Preheat oven to 375.Use a fork to gently poke a few holes into the bottom of the pie shell. Place shell on a cookie sheet for baking.Fry bacon in skillet and set aside to drain, crumble when cool enough to touch.  Sauté the mushrooms in a pan and set aside. In a large bowl crack eggs and whisk together. Stir in milk, spinach, mushrooms, bacon, green onion, nutmeg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Pour mixture into pie shell and bake for 35 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and bake until knife comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the pie.
