SPINACH BACON QUICHE

SPINACH BACON QUICHE



Ingredients
6 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Salt and pepper
2 cups chopped fresh baby spinach, packed
1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crust, fitted to a 9-inch glass pie plate
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender. Layer the spinach, bacon, and cheese in the bottom of the pie crust, then pour the egg mixture on top. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until the egg mixture is set. Cut into 8 wedges.

* This recipe I totally stole from Paula Deen. I was watching her one morning on the foodnetwork and had always wanted to try a "quiche". We all love this and it's so simple to make. So yummy and fattening. haha

Substitutions:

heavy cream for milk
swiss cheese for shredded cheese

I never have heavy cream or swiss cheese on hand so I always substitute a splash of milk instead of heavy cream and a couple handfuls of shredded cheese (any flavor) for the swiss cheese. It's always turned out just fine for me with the substitutions. If you don't like spinach you can always use something else. That's why there are a ton of different quiche recipes out there.
