QUICHE AUX EPINARDS (SPINACH QUICHE)
This is Julia Child's recipe for Spinach Quiche. But of course, I couldn't leave well enough alone . . . just had to add bacon. Ham could also be substituted. Also added a little more cheese. Note: The partially cooked shell may be baked hours ahead of time and the filling prepared and refrigerated in the mixing bowl. Can even be made into tiny quiches for hot hors d'oeuvers.
