  This yummy quiche recipe is great to make for a brunch or as a side dish for dinner.  I actually made this one as a side for Christmas dinner and people seemed to like it.  The bacon adds flavor and a touch of salt to an otherwise vegetables quiche.  Spinach and mushrooms are my favorite vegetables to use in this quiche, but any combination of vegetables can be used.
