SPINACH QUICHE

1 9 oz. package Seabrook Farms Creamed Spinach, thawed

1 10-inch unbaked pastry shell

2 teaspoons chopped shallots or onion

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

4 eggs, lightly beaten

1 1/2 cups light cream (may substitute half-and-half)

1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese

1/4 cup bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled

Optional: Prepare pastry from your favorite recipe or from a package mix according to directions - substituting a dry, white wine for one-half of the liquid (Sauterne or Chablis recommended).

Place in 10-inch quiche or pie pan: flute edges and prick all over with a fork.

Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes or until set but browned.

While crust bakes, prepare spinach according to package instructions. Empty into 1 1/2 quart mixing bowl - allow to cool slightly. Stir in shallots or onion, seasonings, eggs, and cream. Pour into hot pastry shell and sprinkle with Swiss cheese and crumbled bacon.

Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes or until a sharp knife inserted in center comes out clean.

May be browned by placing under broiler for a few minutes, if desired.
