Bacon & Spinach Quiche

Sandi - Gold Coast in Oz!'s Note:

A no fail recipe - one that gets rave reviews whenever someone tries it. So easy yet so yummy! Great hot or cold - ideal for school/work lunches. Freezes well. I quadruple the recipe and cook these in bulk to make life easy. These quantities make either 2 family quiches/pies or about 16 small individual ones (I use muffins tins for these). enjoy!

Wow Sandi, this is the nicest quiche I have ever eaten! I made small individual servings in some small stoneware bowls so I could serve straight from the oven and they also taste great cold. Because of the small size I garnished with sliced cherry tomatoes. I thought the whole grain mustard and corn kernels were really interesting additions and they tasted great.
