Are you planning a brunch for Easter? I love a good brunch. Some mimosas or bloody marys paired with both sweet and savory dishes. What is not to love? Here’s a savory quiche for you to try. It is not only delicious, but it is so easy to make.  You can serve it warm or at room temp, you decide. You can’t go wrong with a bacon and spinach combination, and the tasty Gruyere melts beautifully. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Ingredients:

 Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake the pie crust for 5 minutes, until very lightly browned. Remove from oven and reduce oven to 325°F.
•  In a large saute pan at medium heat, add about 1 tbsp of olive oil. Saute the onions for about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and saute until the spinach is wilted. Drain any water out and set aside.
• In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, milk, bacon, and the onion & spinach mixture. Add some salt & pepper. In a separate bowl, toss the cheese and flour together. Add in the cheese and make sure its all evenly distributed.. Pour into your partially baked pie crust and bake 45 minutes, until set. Let it cool for approximately 20 minutes before slicing.
