More Quiche, Please

There is something comical about a large gun-loving cigar-smoking man asking for a quiche dinner.
Here's his current favorite quiche recipe. What man doesn't love bacon?

• 6 slices bacon
  
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 1/2 c light cream
• 1/4 t nutmeg
  
• 1/2 t salt
• 1/2 t black pepper
• 2 c chopped fresh spinach
• 2 c chopped mushrooms
• 1 c shredded swiss cheese
• 1 c shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 pie crust

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. brown bacon; crumble
3. whip eggs, nutmeg, cream, salt, and pepper
4. stir in bacon, spinach, 3/4 c each swiss and cheddar, and mushrooms
5. pour mixture in pie shell
6. top with remaining cheese (I also throw some freshly grated Parmesan on top)
7. bake for 35 minutues-let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving

Notes about bacon and nutmeg:

BACON: A chef at a high end restaurant once told me to try frying bacon in the oven instead of on the stovetop. I tried it once and was hooked. First of all, I don't have to babysit it (especially nice on mornings when I want to run and take a shower), and second of all it crisps up much faster. Place bacon strips on a foil-lined baking sheet in a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until desired crispness. If you want to drain the fat off easier, place the bacon on baking racks so it will drip as it cooks.

NUTMEG: Freshly ground nutmeg has changed my life, especially in baking. Whole fresh nutmegs can be purchased locally at Central Market and run about 25 cents each. Invest in a fifteen buck micro grater and you're golden. As long as they're kept dry, the remaining nutmeg lasts for months.
