• 0.5 cup cooked bacon or ham (optional)
• 1 cup sautéed vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, onions, etc.)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoons ground nutmeg (optional)
• 1 tablespoon butter or non-stick cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
• 2 tablespoons green onions or fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
