Recipe: Quiche

Around here we call quiche "breakfast pie" because it is just a kid-friendly word. I make this quiche at least one a month because the boys will gobble this up and it is so easy to make. I serve this easy meal with whole wheat blueberry muffins and fresh fruit.

Ingredients
Deep dish pie shell
5 eggs
1 cup half & half OR skim milk
3 sliced green onions
1/2 cup chopped spinach
Bacon, cooked and crumbled (you can use any breakfast meat, but the kids like bacon)
1 cup shredded cheese (we like cheddar, but you can use your favorite)
Salt, pepper, garlic, dry mustard (to your liking)

Directions
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs well. Add in half & half (or milk), salt, pepper, garlic and dry mustard. Sometimes I even add in a few dashes of hot sauce (shhhh!).

3. Pour the egg mixture into the pie shell.

4. Add in bacon, onion and cheese.

5. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until set.

When I make this I keep the green onion and the spinach on one side of the quiche and place all of the bacon on the opposite side, this pleases the vegetarian and the meat eaters alike! We never have any leftovers. You could add in any ingredients of your liking such as sliced tomatoes, diced ham, Swiss cheese, etc. I've served this for both breakfast and an easy weeknight dinner.
