SWISS CHEESE AND SPINACH QUICHE
One of our favorite quiches. From a local hospital cookbook my mom gave me. We omit the salt as the cheese adds enough salt for us. *Note: Make sure the pie crust is a deep dish! We have made this using a regular one before with messy results!

SPINACH AND SWISS QUICHE
Steps:
- Thaw and blind bake the pie crust according to package directions while assembling your other ingredients. Don't forget to prick the pastry with a fork, and use some old dry beans or pie weights if you have them. Adjust oven to 350 F after you blind bake your crust. Thaw/cook your spinach and drain well. Cut cheese into half-inch strips, then toss with the flour and set aside. In a large bowl, combine eggs, whipping cream, salt and pepper, beating well. Stir in spinach and cheese (and bacon). Pour mix into the blind-baked pastry shell. Bake at 350 F for one hour.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw and squeeze out all of the excess water before using.
- Use a large skillet to cook the spinach. This will help to prevent it from steaming and becoming mushy.
- Add the spinach to the quiche mixture just before baking. This will help to prevent it from overcooking.
- Use a preheated oven to bake the quiche. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help to set the filling and make it easier to slice.
