  4. 1-2 CupsSpinach
  5. 8 ozMushrooms (diced)
  6. 1/4-1/2an Onion (diced)

  9. 1/4 TeaspoonSalt
  10. 1/8 TeaspoonPepper
  11. 1/8 TeaspoonNutmeg
  12. 1 TablespoonButter or Oil (whichever type of oil you prefer)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease pie pan and place room temperature pie crust in 9-inch glass pan as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie.

  2. 2

    Cook Bacon in pan until desired texture. I prefer a light crisp, not to soft, not to crispy.

  3. 3

    While bacon is cooking, chop onion and wash spinach. Remove bacon and use about a tablespoon of the bacon fat to cook onion until nearly transparent and add spinach. Cook until spinach has wilted. Remove and place in separate bowl.

  4. 4

    Cook mushrooms in 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. Once mushrooms are thoroughly cooked, chop the bacon and then chop the mushrooms once they have cooled.

  5. 5

    Combined onion/spinach mixture with mushrooms and bacon. Drain any excess moisture from mixture. Place into pie pan.

  6. 6

    In separate bowl, combine milk (or whatever your preference is), eggs, cheese, salt, pepper and nut meg.

  7. 7

    Pour egg mixture on top of other ingredients.

  8. 8

    Cook for 40-60 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes; cut into wedges and WHALA!!

  9. 9

    Note: you can substitute many of the items here, some people will do sun-dried tomatoes instead of bacon or egg whites instead of whole eggs.
