This breakfast quiche provides a heart-warming way to start your day, combining the rich flavors of bacon, the earthy notes of mushrooms, the freshness of spinach, and the creamy goodness of cheese, all nestled in a flaky crust.

Ingredients

• 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 slices of bacon, chopped
• 1 cup of mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups of fresh spinach
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup of milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
• 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (such as cheddar or Swiss)
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. Pre-bake the crust for about 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
3. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.
5. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the cooked bacon, mushrooms, spinach, and shredded cheese.
6. Assemble the Quiche: Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.
7. Bake: Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
