QUICHE LORRAINE 
1 ready made pie shell (in refrigerator section) Pillsbury or Betty Crocker
12 slices bacon, cooked very well
1 c. shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 c. mild white Cheddar or Gruyere cheese
4 eggs
2 c. light cream
3/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. white (or black) pepper
1 tbsp. butter (cut into bits)
1 quiche dish or deep pie dish made of glass

Variation: You can also add small ham chunks with bacon or add ham instead of bacon.

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place folded pie shell into quiche dish following direction on pastry box.

When pie shell is ready sprinkle cheese on bottom of shell and then crush bacon and sprinkle on top of cheeses.

Beat eggs slightly and add remaining ingredients into egg and mix slightly again. Pour mixture over cheese and bacon.

Bake for 15 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees and add butter bits and bake for 30 minutes longer or until knife inserted comes out clean.

Great breakfast for families when Mom wants to sleep in. Cook night before and in morning put slices into microwave themselves!

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
