Manly Man Quiche

1/2 cup diced bacon or diced ham
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup diced mushroom
1 grated zucchini (optional) squeeze out liquid in paper towels if no zucchini you can dice up a pepper or whatever else you can come up with
1 unbaked 9-10 inch pastry shell (I pre-bake shell about 5min.) Keeps bottom from getting soggy.
3 cups shredded white cheddar, jack, Swiss or combo
3 eggs, slightly beaten, I have been known to use 4
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Fry the bacon, pour off most of the fat or heat the diced ham in large skillet with a bit of butter.

Add onion, shrooms and zucchini, cook till onion is soft.

Turn contents of skillet into the pastry shell using at least a 9 inch pie plate. I use a special quiche dish.

Sprinkle w/cheese. Pour a mixture of eggs, milk, s&p and nutmeg over cheese.

Bake at 350 30-35 minutes or until very lightly browned and set.
