Katrina's Notes:

This is the best spinach quiche I have ever had. I usually make my own crust, but if you want a faster, easier quiche I am sure a purchased pastry shell will do the job.

This is incredibly good even warmed in the microwave as leftovers.

Comments from the Test Kitchen: Kitchen Crew

A perfect blending of flavors... a scrumptious quiche! This makes for an impressive presentation, ideal for a special occasion brunch or luncheon.

 

Directions

1
Cut shortening into flour using a pasty cutter until flour mixture is small pea sized beads.
2
Add water and blend by hand just enough to form dough, then roll out on floured cloth
3
Fit pie crust to pie pan, crimp and prick bottom and sides with a fork. Line pastry with heavy duty aluminum foil
4
Bake in 450 degree oven for 8 minutes, remove the foil, bake 5 minutes more or until golden. Cool on a wire rack
5
While pastry is baking, cook bacon and onion together in a medium sized skillet till bacon is crisp. Drain on paper towels
6
In medium sized bowl beat eggs then add the rest of the ingredients and blend together
7
Pour egg mixture into warm pie shell and bake for 45 minutes at 325 degrees. Cool at least ten minutes before serving.
