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.

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