The recipe called for bacon but I used turkey bacon. Also, you can exchange/add/delete the green pepper and onion. Some may prefer mushrooms, broccoli etc.
Ingredients:
1 9" Pie Crust
3 Eggs
6 Slices of Bacon or Turkey Bacon
1/2 Cup of Onion, Chopped
1/4 Cup of Green Pepper, Chopped
1 Tbsp of Flour
1 1/2 Cups of Shredded Swiss Cheese
1 1/2 Cups of Milk
Dash of Salt
Dash of Pepper
Directions:
Prepare oven to 450‘. Line pastry shell with foil. Bake in oven for 8 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until crust is set and dry. Remove from oven and turn oven down to 325‘ In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Drain and keep 2 tbsp of drippings. Crumble bacon and set aside. Cook onion and green peppers in bacon drippings until tender and drain. In a large bowl, mix together milk, salt, pepper, and eggs. Stir in bacon, onion and green pepper. In a separate bowl, toss cheese and flour together, then add to egg mixture. Mix well and pour egg mixture into pie crust. Place pie plate on a cookie sheet and place it in the oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until knife inserted in center of quiche comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
To prevent edge of crust burning, cover edge of crust with foil while baking. (I did this!)
