Spinach Quiche

This recipe is for all of you real men out there. Actually, not only do real men eat quiche, but they also admit it. So cook it up, eat it, love it, and tell all your friends. I stole this from Betty Crocker but I asked her and she said it was OK. I changed a few things to make it a little less ridiculously bad for you like the six slices of bacon (DON'T DO IT) in the original recipe. I use three or less. I figure one of the left-out pieces may contain the very particle of cholesterol that would have sealed the clog in my artery.

1 recipe pie crust (below)
½ cup chopped onion
3 slices bacon, chopped
8 beaten eggs
½ cup dairy sour cream
½ cup milk
¼ tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
Dash ground nutmeg
3 cups lightly packed chopped fresh spinach
2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded Swiss cheese
Cherry tomatoes, cut up

Prepare and roll out pastry for single crust pie. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pastry. Trim, crimp edge as desired. Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of foil. Bake in a 450º oven for 8 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 4 to 5 minutes more or until pastry is set and dry. Reduce oven temperature to 325º.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook onion and bacon until onion is tender and bacon is crisp. Drain on paper towels.

In a bowl stir together eggs, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, and, if desired, nutmeg. Stir in onion mixture, spinach and cheeses.

Pour egg mixture into hot, baked pastry shell. Bake in the 325º oven 45 top 50 minutes or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edge of crust with foil to prevent overbrowning. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with cherry tomatoes.
