SPINACH AND BACON QUICHE

SPINACH AND BACON QUICHE
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen

Ingredients                  

7- Large Eggs, beaten
2- Cups Heavy Cream
Salt and Pepper
2- Cups Fresh Baby Spinach, packed
1- Pound Bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 ½- Cups Shredded Swiss Cheese
½- Cup White Cheddar Cheese
2- Marie Callender’s pie crusts

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F

Combine the eggs, cream, salt and pepper in a large bowl and whisk. Layer the spinach on the bottom of an uncooked pie crust. Add the bacon and cheese and pour the egg mixture on top. Bake in a preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the egg mixture is set. Instead of using 2 cups of Swiss cheese, I used 1 ½ cups of Swiss cheese and ½ cup of white cheddar cheese.

This Quiche turned out beautiful. It not only looked great but tasted excellent. I like the way the spinach was layered in the egg mixture and the bacon floated to the top making layers of goodness. This recipe was easy as I did not have to pre-cook the crust before adding the ingredients. The secret to making sure the bottom of the quiche is cooked: Pre-heat oven and place a baking sheet on the lower rack. When the oven is heated, place the quiche right on the warm baking sheet.
