Bacon Gruyere Quiche

I just realized I have yet to put a quiche recipe on my blog - which is inexcusable! The quiche I made tonight kinda blew my mind - especially because it was just a mix of all the ingredients in my fridge! And it has bacon in it, so of course it's awesome.

Bacon Gruyere Quiche

1 pie crust (I cheaped out and just bought one)
4 pieces of thick smoked bacon, sliced and cooked to crispy state
5 large eggs
5 Tbsp milk
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup onion, minced
8 large fresh basil leaves, chopped
salt and pepper
1/2 cup smoked gruyere cheese, grated
1/8 cup baby spinach, chopped
1/8 cup mushrooms, diced

Cook pie crust as per recipe/box instructions. Let cool slightly.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In the bottom of the pie crust place bacon bits.

In a large bowl scramble eggs and milk together. Add all other ingredients to the eggs and mix to combine. Pour over bacon, into the pie crust.

Place in the oven, and bake for 45 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before diving in!

I also made a salad with baby romaine, peach slices, goat cheese, and pistachios, and a homemade orange juice vinaigrette. It really rocked in taste and in presentation - the green and purple of the pistachios mimicked the green and purple of the lettuce, so it just looked really awesome.
