My Best Quiche!

Believe it or not, I forgot to take a picture of this before we devoured it! This was the leftover half-piece. This is called My Best Quiche because it is the only quiche I have ever made. We all liked it. I had seen a bacon and spinich quiche recipe in a magazine, then couldn't find it after I had all the ingredients assembled. This recipe is cobbled together from several internet visits and my own instincts.
