This is a recipe I got from my mom. She's been making it as long as I can remember. It's pretty simple and very delicious. Even though this is usually a breakfast dish, it's great any time. If you use my pie crust recipe, you can make two quiches (double the recipe below).
This one is for Audrey.
Ingredients
4 slices of thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 lb Swiss cheese, grated
4 eggs
1 C cream
1/2 C milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 unbaked pie crust
Mix all ingredients together.
Pour into pie shell.
Bake 35-40 minutes at 375F on lower shelf in oven. Center should still be slightly wiggly.
(For the one pictured below, we also added spinach.)
