Spinach, Bacon and Mushroom Quiche

For those who know me, I love coupons! What better way to use a coupon than on a sale item!  And that is what prompted me to by some unbaked pie shells.  Now what to do with these pie shells?  Bake a quiche! And being the frugal person that I am, do I go out and buy my ingredients to make the quiche?  Nope, like all my other recipes, I make things based on what I have at home.  

Ingredients:

6 slices of maple flavoured bacon - cooked and diced

half of an onion - diced

1 can of mushroom

Fresh baby spinach (about a spinning basket full) - chopped

6 eggs

1 and 1/2 cup of evaporated milk

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground mustard

1/2 tsp paprika

1 and 1/4 cup shredded cheese

1 9 inch unbaked shell

Preheat oven to 375F.  Pan fry the bacon until cooked, put aside on paper towel to soak up oil/fat. Then dice the bacon into bits. Drain out most of the fat from the pan.  In the same pan, cook the onion, mushroom, bacon and spinach.  In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, mustard and paprika.  Add the cooked onion, mushroom, bacon and spinach.  Pour mixture into unbaked shell and bake for approximately 40 min.
