Ingredients
- 1   purchased frozen pie crust, (deep dish (9-inch))
- 2 slices bacon, (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 ½ cups shredded Gruyere cheese
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach, (stems removed and chopped)
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes,  (sliced in half)
- 4  large or extra large eggs
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
1. [Pie Crust Directions] Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
2. [Pie Crust Directions] Use a fork and prick the pie crust over the bottom and sides. Place the crust on a baking sheet with sides and par-bake it for ten minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 375 °F. Leave the crust on the baking sheet and set it aside to cool for a few minutes.
3. [Quiche Filling Directions] Combine the eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, and salt in a medium-size bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
4. [Quiche Filling Directions] Sprinkle one-fourth cup of the shredded cheese evenly over the pie crust. Then, add the chopped spinach and the rest of the shredded cheese. Spread out evenly. Sprinkle the sliced tomatoes over the top.
5. [Quiche Filling Directions] Carefully pour the egg mixture over the spinach, cheese, and tomatoes. Depending on the size of your pie crust and how deep it is, you may have a small amount leftover. Top with the crumbled bacon.
6. [Quiche Filling Directions] Leave the quiche on the baking sheet and bake it for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is puffed and set.
7. [Quiche Filling Directions] When it's done, remove it from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool. Quiche is best served warm or at room temperature.
