Quiche: It's Not Just for Girls

A friend once told me that men don't like to each quiche. Apparently, quiche has reputation for being a "girly" dish. I guess I was a bit surprised. I thought most guys would eat just about anything you put in front of them.

I like quiche and from what I can tell, my husband likes it too. I think it's a nice, light dinner or a great breakfast entree. I recently tried a recipe from Paula's Home Cooking. It is an easy, delicious recipe. I paired it with a basic garden salad and served it for dinner.

Spinach and Bacon Quiche
6 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Salt and pepper
2 cups chopped fresh baby spinach, packed
1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crust, fitted to a 9-inch glass pie plate

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender. Layer the spinach, bacon, and cheese in the bottom of the pie crust, then pour the egg mixture on top. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until the egg mixture is set. Cut into 8 wedges.
