SPINACH QUICHE

I know, I know... it has been a long while since my last post, so many things happened, like,  I went to visit my Mom and stayed for 7 weeks, and I took bunch of my homemade foods, intended to post the recipes but never made it.. blame on laziness *grins*

Today I want to talk about Full breakfast in this part of world, and I better write it and post it before my laziness takes over *grins* again

Full breakfast in my Hubby's family consists of toasts/pancake/waffle/hash brown/biscuit, eggs, bacon/sausage/ham, those were what we ate whenever we stayed at his parents' house, I did not mind at all, I'd help with the eggs or sausage, they usually let me do how I wanted to make/eat with them ( omelet, scramble, sausage crumbs or sausage patties )

In my house, we seldom have full breakfast, not once a week, even not once a month, for me, 1 or 2 crackers with half cup of latte is enough for me, for him, sometime is easy too, couple of oranges/apples and 1 or 2 cups of coffee, or some cheesy grits, cereal or buttered toast.

Today I made "full breakfast" with some twists *grins* : eggs, bacon and toasts, as what we call QUICHE, for our brunch

It's similar with Salmon quiche I made on my older post, omit bacon if you are vegetarian, basically we can add anything we want

SPINACH QUICHE

What to do:

 for the filling:
- in a medium bowl, mix milk and mayo
- in another bowl, beat the eggs, then pour into the milk mixture, mix well, add some salt and black pepper
- arrange the veggies, herbs and cheese on top of the crust
- pour in the egg mixture
- sprinkle bacon bits on top of it
- cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes in  a preheated oven, 350'
- take off the foil. bake for another 15 minutes until the middle is set
- let it cool, slice and serve warm
