Pie Week: Quiche Lindsay

To wrap up Pie Week and to give your sweet tooth a break, our finale pie is a savory one- quiche!  Quiche is a great, flexible dish because you can add anything you like to it.  I made this one up out of thin air, hence the name Quiche Lindsay.  Clever, I know.

Ingredients:
1 refrigerated pie crust
shredded cheese (I used gouda and mozzarella.  Sorry, no measurement- depends on your preferred level of cheesiness)
3 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup skim milk
5 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
1 bell pepper
5 scallions, sliced
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Place refrigerated pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.  Layer  shredded cheese in the bottom of the crust.  In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream and milk.  Stir in the chopped bacon, bell pepper, and 4 of the scallions.  Season with salt and pepper, then pour mixture into pie crust.  Arrange tomato slices on top, then bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes.  Once the custard is set, broil for 3-4 minutes to brown the top.  Let set for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with remaining scallion.
