Spinach Quiche Recipe

We made this for dinner last night with our friend and it was so good we had to make it again tonight for my family!



Ingredients
     1 frozen pie crust
     3 slices bacon
     1 3-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
     1/3 cup half and half (or milk)
     3 eggs
     1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
     1/2 cup grated cheddar (gruyere works well, too)
     1/4 cup grated Parmesan
     4 to 6 green onion ends, thinly sliced (1/2 cup finely diced red or white
     onion or shallots work as well)
     1/4 teaspoon salt
     1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions
     Cook crust about 10 minutes until slightly golden at about 400°.      
     Cook bacon and crumble into small pieces.
     Raise oven temperature to 425° once crusts are done.  
     Beat cream cheese in medium bowl until smooth.
     Gradually beat in half and half and eggs.
     Mix in remaining ingredients. Pour mixture into prepared crust.
     Bake until the filling is set, about 25 minutes. 
     Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Since this recipe only makes 1 quiche, we usually double it so we have enough to fill Casey's hollow leg :)
