Quiche

Ingredients:

4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup half and half
1 cup shredded cheese
8 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/3 onion, finely chopped
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 recipe pie crust

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees.  Roll pie crust into round.  Place in quiche dish (or 9 inch pie plate), folding overhanging edge of pastry under and flute.

2. Carefully line pastry with a double thickness of foil, letting edge extend over to prevent excessive browning.  Bake crust for 10 minutes.  Remove foil and bake 2-4 minutes until pastry JUST begins to brown.  If bubbles form, gently press them down with the back of a spoon.

3. Reduce oven temp to 325 degrees.  Sprinkle bacon, cheese, mushrooms and onion into crust.  Beat eggs, milk, half and half, and spinach until mixed. Pour into crust.

4. Bake 45-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.  Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
