Quiche

This has been a Christmas morning tradition in our family for over 25 years. It's great with champagne on a cold (or warm) Christmas morning.

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 3

Ingredients

• 6  ounces swiss cheese, grated
• 8  slices bacon, crisp & crumbled
• 3  eggs
• 1  cup heavy cream
• 1⁄2 cup 1% low-fat milk
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1  dash cayenne
• 1⁄4 teaspoon mustard powder
• 1  frozen  9-inch deep dish pie crust

Directions

1. Sprinkle cheese & bacon in pie crust. (I cook the bacon & grate the cheese the night before so it's easier on Christmas morning.).
2. At this point you can add 1 10 oz pkg of chopped spinach (thawed & squeezed dry) or 1 small can of sliced mushrooms (drained), or use your imagination. (I usually make at least 2 on Christmas & so the variations were born.).
3. Mix together remaining ingredients & pour over cheese (& whatever else you may have added).
4. Bake in 375 deg oven for 50 minutes until firm & slightly browned. Test with a toothpick.
5. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
