Spinach and Bacon Quiche

I love brunch food. It's easy and I always love to have an excuse to have a mimosa. Next time you are entertaining think about having brunch instead of dinner. The ingredients are much more cost effective and your guests leave before you are completely exhausted for the day. Nothing says brunch quite like a quiche. And, of course, it must have bacon. Here's a simple recipe for spinach and bacon quiche. This recipe makes two quiche pies so feel free to halve the recipe for a single pie, but even as a leftover this quiche is a win.

Ingredients:
12 eggs
1 pint of whipping cream
1 package of 16 oz mild cheddar cheese - shredded
1/2 sweet onion - diced
1 6 oz package of fresh baby spinach
1 lb bacon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
1 package of 2 frozen pie crusts - thawed

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325F. Dice bacon and cook in a pan. Dice onions and sauté lightly in a tablespoon of remaining bacon grease. Once softened, add baby spinach and wilt leaves. In a food processor, combine eggs, whipping cream, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Place defrosted pie crusts in glass pie dishes. Add half of the egg mixture to the bottom of the pie. Add 1/2 of the shredded cheese, the spinach mixture, and the crumbled bacon to each of the pies. Add the remaining egg mixture and top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour until set. Quiche is done when a knife inserted into the pie comes out clean. These are good cold or warm, but I recommend serving them warm. Enjoy your brunch and have a mimosa for me!
