Cooking duration: 40 minutes

 

Ingredients:

3 cups fresh baby spinach

6 strips bacon

coarse salt and fresh black pepper

4 ounces cream cheese

4 large eggs

1 cup half & half

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 puff pastry sheet, thawed (like Pepperidge Farm )

1/4 cup diced red onion

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Equipment:

pie form

oven

aluminum foil

baking sheet

paper towels

microwave

whisk

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface roll the puff pastry out to about 11-inches - press it into a 9-inch deep dish pie pan and fold the edges under. Prick the crust all over with a fork even around the sides. Bake 10 minutes. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with oil. Lay the bacon out so it's not touching and bake until crispy 10 - 15 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. When cool enough to handle crumble it up.Meanwhile make little stacks out of the spinach leaves and thinly slice them into ribbons. Melt the cream cheese about 20 seconds in the microwave - it should be soft enough to easily stir. Add it to a large bowl and whisk in the eggs then stir in the spinach leaves. Let it sit 5 - 10 minutes to let the spinach soften a little. Whisk the half & half into the egg mixture then stir in the onion, all three of the remaining cheeses and almost all the bacon, leaving a little to garnish the top. Whisk in a few dashes each of salt and pepper. Pour into the pie crust, sprinkle the top with the remaining bacon and bake about 40 minutes or until the center is set. If the crust starts browning too much cover with foil. Let the quiche set for 10 minutes before cutting. Can be served hot or at room temperature.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
