Pioneer Woman’s Quiche

adapted from Pioneer Woman - imagine that!

1 deep dish pie crust
7 eggs
1½ cups heavy cream
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
½ pound bacon
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 can green chilies
½ cup baby spinach, torn, optional

In a skillet, fry bacon until crisp. Crumble and set aside.

In a large bowl, beat eggs with cream. Add grated cheese, salt and pepper, and set aside. (Add cayenne pepper if you’d like a little kick.)

Add remaining ingredients. Stir together. Add bacon and stir.

Pour into pie crust and press to submerge ingredients.

Cover loosely with foil, place on a baking sheet, and bake at 400ºF for 1 hour. Bake for slightly longer if quiche is overly jiggly.

Remove from oven and allow to set for ten minutes before serving. Remove quiche from pan and slice into wedges.
