MAKEOVER REAL-MAN QUICHE
This quiche is one of my husband's favorites, probably because it has bacon. Sometimes I add sliced fresh white or baby portobello mushrooms and saute them with the onions for more "meatiness." The makeover version looks wonderful! - Ruby Hochstetler, Holland, Michigan

Steps:
- preheat oven to 425*. line a baking pan with 10-12 slices of your favorite bacon (I use Oscar Meyer center cut) bake at 400* for 12-14 minutes. While bacon is cooking prepare your chopped spinach in the microwave per package instructions, remove and carefully squeeze out excess water and place in a dish at your station. Remove bacon from oven and place slices on a paper towel to drain, use kitchen shears and cut into small pieces.
- remove frozen pie crust from freezer and place at your work station while you chop and dice the onion. Go ahead now and grate your swiss cheese(on wax paper for ease of transport) in a medium bowl slightly beat the 6 eggs add your salt, pepper, cayenne and whipping cream mix lightly. place the diced onion in the bottom of your pie crust, followed by the cut bacon, then layered with the chopped spinach. Place your grated swiss on top of the spinach, then carefully pour your egg mixture over the top, slowly to allow absorption. sprinkle top with asiago cheese.
- place your Quiche in pre-heated 425* oven for 15 minutes, at the end of 15 minutes reduce heat to 325* and bake an additional 25-30 minutes until tops are a golden brown
- remove from oven allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Slice, Plate and ENJOY mmmmmm GOOD!! Recipe is for "One" Quiche in my photos I was making the Kids Quiche as well (with sausage and cheddar)
THE REAL MAN'S QUICHE
This is an adaptation of a recipe that was given to me by a friend a couple of decades ago when I was a newlywed. It is still one of my family's favorites. It is great to pull out of the freezer when I don't have time to cook.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Ingredients: Opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Use flavorful cheese like cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan, and fresh vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bacon.
- Master the Crust: You can use a pre-made crust for convenience, or make your own for a more personalized touch. If making your own, use a combination of butter and shortening for a flaky crust.
- Don't Overfill the Quiche: Avoid overfilling the quiche, as it can lead to a soggy crust. Fill it to about 3/4 full to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the quiche. The ideal temperature range is between 350-375°F (175-190°C). Baking at a lower temperature for a longer time will ensure even cooking and prevent the crust from burning.
- Let it Cool Before Serving: Allow the quiche to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help it set properly and make it easier to slice.
