Quiche

This is my favorite quiche. It is a combination of Florentine & Lorraine. It's been a work in progress for a while and I think this is the best version.

1 uncooked pie crust (I prefer Pillsbury)
1 t butter
2/3 C diced onion
1 lb fresh spinach (or less if you're using frozen; NEVER use canned - yuck!)
3 strips bacon, cut up and cooked until almost crispy (bacon is optional & I have used turkey bacon and not even noticed a difference.)
1/2 t salt
dash of pepper
1 C shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
1/2 C shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 C Parmesan cheese
4-5 eggs
1 C heavy cream or half & half
dash of ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350. Roll out the pie crust into a greased pie pan. Saute your onion with the butter, add spinach until wilted. Season with salt & pepper. Remove from heat, drain excess liquid and spread over pie crust. Combine eggs, cream, nutmeg and mix well. Stir in cheeses. Pour over spinach & onion. Stir around to mix ingredients and remove air pockets. Bake for 45 minutes (or until set & golden on top). Allow to cool 15 minutes. Serve with muffins and fruit!
