SPINACH AND BACON QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Chop when cool.
• Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, and set aside.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce. Spread the spinach into the bottom of the pie crust; top with bacon, Cheddar cheese, and green onion. Pour the egg mixture over the filling, and sprinkle the quiche with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is lightly puffed and browned, and a knife inserted into the center of the quiche comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.

SPINACH QUICHE

Steps:

• Use favorite pie crust recipe or Pet Ritz.
• Beat eggs and add remaining ingredients. 1/2 pint of sour cream is 1 cup. I use French's brand of French Fried onion rings. I'm not positive about the ounces, but it is the small size and the 8 oz. I have listed is an approximate. Also, be sure and get all of the moisture out of the spinach. I blot it between paper towels to remove all of the water.
• Pour into pie crust.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until knife comes out clean.
