Spinach and Bacon Quiche


I made this as a side dish to go with Italian food, but it could easily be used as a main dish or even as a breakfast dish. You can mix up the ingredients very easily, depending on your tastes. For the meat, use sausage or prosciutto instead of bacon. For the veggie, you can use chopped broccoli or zucchini instead of the spinach. Try a pie crust or crescent roll as a crust to make it a meal. However you make it, enjoy! This is what I did:

5 eggs
2 c. shredded 4-cheese Italian blend
1 box frozen spinach, thawed and drained
5 slices bacon, sliced into 1 in pieces
1/2 onion, chopped into small pieces
1 T butter
2 T flour
1/2 tsp salt

Cook chopped bacon and onion in olive oil in small skillet until bacon is almost crispy and onion is translucent. Set aside to cool for about 5 minutes. Mix all other ingredients together in bowl. Stir in bacon and onion. Spray pie pan with cooking spray and pour mix in. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes until eggs are set and it is slightly brown on top. Let sit about 5-10 minutes before serving.
