Bacon Spinach Quiche

Ever since my pie crust lesson last week, I have been thinking about… pies! I adore quiche but have never made one due to my irrational fear of making pie crusts. But my friend Mary, my mother, my sisters all make it seem so easy; and I did make one crust by myself with supervision. I decided to give it a whirl!

The bacon spinach quiche I made in it was super amazing!!!

1 – 9” unbaked pie crust

6 eggs

1 1/2 cups milk

salt & pepper

1 cup crumbled bacon

1 cup shredded cheese

2 cups chopped fresh spinach

Beat eggs and milk together. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into unbaked pie crust.

Carefully place in oven preheated to 375. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until center is set.

After 30 minutes, cover loosely with piece of foil to keep crust from over-baking.

It was pretty puffy right out of the oven after 60 minutes…
