Ingredients

  • 8 or 9-inch deep baked shell
  • 10 oz. (1 pkg.) fresh spinach (I have used 1 can spinach dried between paper towels)
  • 2 Tbsp. butter or oleo
  • 2 Tbsp. minced onions
  • 6 crisp strips cooked bacon, dried between paper towels
  • 1/2 c. coarse grated Swiss cheese (cheese of choice)
  • 3 large eggs or 6 small eggs, plus milk or cream to make 1 1/2 c. liquid
  • salt and pepper
  • garlic, minced (1 Tbsp. fresh)
  • nutmeg (pinch into custard mix; optional)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Prebake shell.
  • Cook bacon crisp and drain.
  • Saute onions slowly in the butter or oleo (I use 2 tablespoons bacon drippings) and onions until almost tender.
  • Add the minced garlic and continue until the garlic begins to change color.
  • Strew the grated Swiss cheese (1/4 cup) in bottom of shell. Break up the pieces of bacon and strew over the Swiss cheese. Sprinkle a little grated Swiss over the bacon.
