Recipe: Spinach Quiche

Even though I claim not to cook very often, lately I have been cooking recipes left and right! I decided to make a quiche for the first time since I had some leftover heavy cream. Google led me to this recipe from the Food Network, and it sounded easy enough to me!

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs, beaten
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• Salt and pepper
• 2 cups chopped fresh baby spinach, packed
• 1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1.5 cups shredded Swiss cheese
• 1 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crust, fitted to a 9-inch glass pie plate

Directions

-Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
-Combine the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender. Layer the spinach, bacon, and cheese in the bottom of the pie crust, then pour the egg mixture on top. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the egg mixture is set. Cut into 8 wedges.

This recipe was so easy, and I was pleasantly surprised how well my quiche turned out! I only had five eggs and no bacon, but everything still worked out. I didn't bother to chop up the baby spinach; I just layered the little leaves in the bottom of the crust, alternating the spinach layers with layers of cheese (I used sharp cheddar). Delicious!
