How to Make Western Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
  3. In a medium nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook 1/2 cup chopped scallions, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, and 4 slices crumbled cooked bacon over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until softened.
  4. Spoon the vegetable and bacon mixture into the prepared pie pan.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the vegetable mixture.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 4 large eggs (or 1/2 cup egg substitute), 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the pie pan over the cheese and vegetables.
  8. Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
