Spinach and Ham Quiche, eh?

Around our house, if you want Maddie to eat something, you put it in a quiche or a quesidilla. At 2 years old, this was her hands-down favorite dish, and to this day you ask her what she wants for dinner and she says "quiche." I'll raise a foodie yet. :)

*If you want to make this one lower fat, do a phyllo crust. One sheet of phyllo in the pie pan, sprinkle on some bread crumbs, another sheet turned 90 degrees...repeat 5 times.

SPINACH AND BACON QUICHE

1 pre-made 9" deep dish pie crust, thawed (I prefer the rolled variety)
1 T olive oil
1/2 cup onion
1 T minced garlic
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp italian seasoning
1/2 cup canadian bacon, cut into small pieces (a whole package usually does it)
1/2 bag fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste (usually determined by the amount of salt in the bacon)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small frying pan, heat the oil over medium high heat. When fragrant, add the onion and garlic; saute until translucent and set to the side. In a large bowl, mix the eggs and milk together. Add the italian seasoning, bacon, spinach, cheese and onion/garlic mixture and combine. Pour this into the prepared pie shell and bake for 1 hour or until the center no longer jiggles.
