Thanks for providing a great base recipe for spinach quiche for me! I altered the recipe by using homemade crust, (is there really any other?!)real bacon, sauteed fresh spinach, chopped portabello mushrooms, and onion, but the recipe still held up. I worried that there wasn't enough egg mixture, but it turned out perfectly, after baking 45min at high altitude. Good stuff.
