Quiche for Sue

My friend Sue came down for a Sunday visit.
What to serve for lunch?
Decided on an old standby, quiche.
Searching through my family recipe book came upon a quiche recipe from my sister Donna's friend Betty.
Never one to leave things alone I made a few changes .
This is the result:
Baking in the oven
Cut ready to serve


This was a great success.
I served it with tossed green salad, seeded French bread stick, lots of white wine , apple pie and ice cream.
And lots of laughs and chatter.

Quiche:
1 unbaked pie shell( used a deep dish 9 inch pie pan)
6 slices bacon , cooked til crisp and crumbled
1/2 10 oz. pkg frozen spinach, thawed and water squeezed out
1/2 medium sized onion, finely chopped

Spread spinach evenly over bacon, mushrooms and onion. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of spinach. Beat eggs, add milk, salt and pepper, mix well.Pour egg\milk mixture into pie shell.
