Spinach, cheese and bacon quiche


I made a delicious quiche last night that I wanted to share with you. For those of you who are watching your "carbs" this is just about 0.

Saute 1 diced onion in 2 tbs. olive oil in a large nonstick pan on high for 5-6 minutes or until onion begins to turn golden.

While onion sautes, cut 1 package of thick cut bacon with scissors, to make about 2" little pieces.

Remove onion from the pan, and add cut bacon. Cook on medium high heat until bacon is cooked though, about 7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon on a plate lined with paper towels. The bacon should be cooked through, but not overly crunchy.

Remove bacon fat and saute 1 package chopped frozen spinach for 7-8 minutes or until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and a pinch of Greek Seasoning.

In a large bowl, crack 6 eggs and whisk. Add in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Add in a pinch of salt and ground black pepper. Add in onion, bacon and spinach.

Preheat oven to 400 and spray a pie plate with nonstick spray. Add in egg mixture and bake for 25-30 minutes or until center of quiche has set.

Let cool and turn out onto cutting board. Cut into even wedges and serve. This dish reheats well and can also be eaten for breakfast.
